How Does 'Rolling Admission' Work?

<p>My D’s school gets out relatively early (May 23). My D said the other day that her GC wants the forms and school lists when school gets out so the GC can work on her letters over the summer. My D’s teacher said the same thing for recommendations. Everybody seems to be in anti-procrastination mode right now! </p>

<p>The only problem is that I looked on the school websites and the Common App forms for next year aren’t up yet and some of the colleges haven’t updated their forms yet. My D was also still tweaking her college list based on visits we are doing in May and June. We can of course contact the schools and talk to the counselor about the forms but do you have any other ideas on how to get started right now on this. As a side note I just printed off the school report from U of Chicago and it is 4 pages long. No wonder she wants to get started now.</p>
