<p>what schools have rolling admissions? I'm applying to schools like NYU, U miami, USC, U mich,texas-austin and maybe wisconsin and boston U.....do any of them have rolling admissions? and why do schools have rolling admissions anyway? isn't it hard to keep track of how many students they've let in?</p>
<p>I don't think any of yours are on this list:

<p>Usually, (and this is a generalization, I know), less competitive schools use rolling admissions. This is so that they can get students accepted and excited about the school earlier than the more competitive schools, so that top notch students will go to their schools. It isn't all that hard to keep track of rolling admissions. All you need is a list of how many you have let in and how many have agreed to come, just like at any other school. Another reason to do rolling admission is to have more control about how many people are accepted each year. If not enough people are coming, you can admit more, and if to many accepted the school, then you can stop admitting earlier.</p>
<p>I am pretty sure U Mich has rolling admissions. It's still a competitive school.</p>
<p>That's why I said it is a generalization. I'm sure some great schools have rolling admission as well.</p>
<p>U Michigan-Ann Arbor is a great school, but it has an unusually high acceptance rate (for it's "peer" schools), which is possibly related to rolling admissions, or more likely to the gigantic number of students they have there.</p>
<p>It would be difficult to find a school around USC's acceptance rate with rolling admissions, I would think.</p>
<p>I think the acceptance rate is definitely skewed by the michigan's much larger student body. It's pretty amazing for a public school.</p>
<p>do public schools tend to have rolling admissions compared to the private ones?</p>
<p>no ...........</p>
