June wasn’t the deadline, that was when they started accepting invitations.
The two schools D was able to apply as early as the end of her Junior year were: Northern Michigan U in Marquette, MI (outstanding school and LOTS of merit aid, beautiful setting right up on Lake Superior - students become addicted to the town and location, many stay there after graduation, lots of personal attention at every step of the process - it was very hard for D to turn down their offers) and Northern Colorado U in Greely, CO (D decided too small, and not enough of the ECs she was looking for, plus their art program didn’t excite her enough - but we have several friends’ who’s kids go there and love it). D had both of her admissions to these schools by August(before MOST of her friends had even started one application) and NMU sent first of numerous $$$ offers with acceptance letter. Both apps were also online and fairly simple.</p>
<p>This also kind of made her (DD) think that the clock was ticking on her other apps (they almost felt late when they weren’t) so she hurried up and got the rest done in August/September.</p>
<p>One drawback - her ONE non-rolling admissions school, which going into the process was her far and away favorite, did not notify her until February. This gave her the impression that they weren’t that into her because by then she had been actively pursued by the others. So by the time they accepted her she had cooled on them. They were also the most expensive school (by a LOT - 10K more a year than next costly and 20K more a year than where she ended up) and they offered nothing to her in the way of money or honors designation. I am relieved(although sad too as the school is my alma mater) at how it worked out because the money thing would have been a hardship for our family.</p>
<p>Another thing is that not all rolling admits are created equal in the waiting department. Four weeks was the shortest wait until decision and 10 weeks was the longest(but still rolling admissions).</p>
<p>Finally, SCAD, Savannah College of Art and Design (if art school is your interest) accepts the beginning of applications in FALL of Junior year and you can add the admissions info as it becomes available and they are rolling admissions too. D went to an info session in Fall of junior year, they gave 50% off the application fee if you started your app at that session. D did that but never completed the process as she decided art school for undergrad was not what she wanted.</p>
<p>Oh, one more type of app, the Early ACTION/Non-binding is kind of cool but in D’s case was not rolling at the school she did it at, U of GA (another GREAT school). Their early action is just test scores and transcripts. The deadline was something like October 1st and from that students were either deferred or admitted. If you were deferred (like my D was) you have the option to complete & submit more info (letters of rec, ECs, and short answer/essays) for regular decision. D did not go on beyond her deferment as she already was essayed out. 
But the school makes it very clear that they REALLY want you to submit and complete the rest, deferment is for the few REALLY well transcripted/testing students. UGA even sent her a request to still complete the app after the reg decision deadline had passed but she was burnt on the app process by then.</p>
