<p>Does anyone have experience with rolling admissions specifically, as opposed to the BSs with more traditional timelines? I am wondering how long a candidate might expect to wait for a decision. Also, when would a deposit be due? Close to the April deadlines or at a time determined by the date of the acceptance letter?</p>
<p>I’m sure it depends on the school. Our experience at Interlochen Arts Academy: notification of admission occurred less than 30 days after application was complete (audition, interview, application). School requested deposit within 30 days. Admissions did want to know if DD was applying at any other schools with traditional March 10 acceptance dates; if she had been, they said they would delay notification of their decision until early March, so we could weigh options once we had decisions from other schools. (I guess otherwise they could end up with lots of students asking for extensions for paying the deposit until the M10 decisions were known.) </p>
<p>Final word (as usual!) - ask the school!</p>
