Chalk Talk: College Application Types
There are four primary types of college applications with varying deadlines and requirements for students. The most common is Regular Decision. These applications don’t have any special requirements, other than the application, transcripts, standardized test scores, recommendations, and any other accompanying documents like resumes. Another type of application is Rolling. The difference between Rolling and Regular Decision is that colleges set a deadline for applications, but even if you turn it in early, they still won’t read it until the deadline has passed. With Rolling, colleges read the application as soon as a student sends it, so response times tend to be fairly quick. A third application type is Early Action. Early Action applications have an earlier deadline, and therefore decisions tend to be somewhat quick. Deadlines might be as early as November 1st or 15th. Early Decision is the fourth kind of application. This is very similar to Early Action, except that it’s binding; students sign a contract, along with parents, stating that they agree to attend this college if accepted.
