What “rolling admissions” means right now

April 21, 2020 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

Please don’t get caught up in misdirected hype around “rolling admissions” in the coronavirus era. The rolling round that many schools have implemented is totally unlike the standard deployment of “rolling admissions” from schools like Columbia operating in a normal year.
