<p>I'm planning on applying to the University of South Carolina for engineering and would like to know if the school uses rolling admissions. If it does, when does the window open for applications, and when's the application deadline?</p>
<p>Look at admissions website. The applications are usually on-line in August. Next years dates are not up, but last year, early answer deadline was Oct 15 with decisions week of Dec. 16. That’s the soonest you’ll hear so not really rolling. Next deadline was Nov 15 for honors/top merit scholarships. Regular deadline was Dec. 1 with decisions by mid March. Now USC does seem to send out some regular acceptances before March and someone last year posted about sending in application late and still hearing back in March. But as I said, probably not really what you mean by true rolling where they deal with applications as they are received. Soonest you will hear back is that December week.</p>
