Disadvantages of Rolling Admission
Most college guidance counselors advise that students submit their application soon after the school begins to accept them as many believe that colleges look more favorably on students who apply earlier in the year. Other times, universities may underestimate the number of students who will take the offer of admission, resulting in the number of spots filling rapidly; this can lead to more-qualified applicants' being denied. This can create pressure on students who wait a little longer. Also, schools often use a first-come-first-served method to grant housing and aid to students. Applicants who believe rolling admission to mean no deadlines may miss the chance at housing or aid that they would have had if there were one set deadline.

I sincerely hope that we may continue to minimize the evils likely to arise from such immigration without unnecessary friction and by mutual concessions between self-respecting governments.”
