Apply to College for Fall
Had you planned on enrolling in college in the Fall of 2021 but missed the crucial application deadlines? Don’t despair, you haven’t missed the boat for all colleges. While college application season typically runs from early November until February, there are several colleges that have later deadlines, running through the spring of 2021 or are rolling. And don’t be fooled into thinking they are obscure colleges that no one has heard of. Plenty of them are reputable, established colleges (as you can see by their admit rate) that just run longer admission rounds.
Rolling admissions
While these colleges have deadlines falling in early January and February, they will consider later applications following the due date. Several of these are highly reputed, so if you have stellar academics and are hoping to get into a more competitive college then look no further!
