Rolling-Admission Programs with No Fixed Deadline

These programs have no fixed application deadline: they review applications as they arrive, so a strong application in October beats a rushed one in January.

Rolling doesn't mean unlimited — many fill seats first-come-first-served, so applying early in the cycle still matters.
