| Rolling admissions is truly a very nice thing. I remembered when I originally spent a lot of time trying to pick out schools that are safeties, etc., when one of my top choices popped out with rolling admissions and a free application that didn't require essays or recs.
Needless to say, I filled it out semi-seriously and finished the app in about 9min. This was in early October. Before my EAs were due, I already had my first admit, and I didn't have to apply to any other safeties! I was originally going to apply to about 10 colleges, but my list went down to 5 colleges: all of which were in the top 30. The stress it saved me was invaluable.
Now, their rolling is still open. So, if you got a bit overconfident and applied only to HYPSM, you still have a chance. =) |
