What are "rolling admissions"?

Rolling admission means that--( generally public universities have rolling admission, some public universities) once they have all the material on a student, they make up their mind. Sometimes a student can apply rolling early in their senior year, find out early, and already know where they're going to college by Thanksgiving or even sooner. If a student is applying to a rolling school, they should apply early because the slots get filled up, so there's a little bit of strategy involved.
