Rolling admission

Okay kiddo, have you ever played a game of musical chairs? Imagine that there are 100 chairs and 100 kids who want to sit in one. But the rule is that only one kid can sit on one chair at a time. Now let's say that instead of an actual chair, the chair is a spot in college. And instead of 100 kids, there are thousands of students who want to go to that college.

Now, the problem is that the college can only admit a certain number of students per year. This means that some students will have to wait for the next year, and some may not even get a chance to get in. However, the college still wants to make sure they fill up all of the seats they have available.

This is where rolling admission comes in. It's like the college is playing a game of musical chairs, but instead of having a set deadline for when all the chairs have to be filled, they're just constantly playing the game. They're always accepting and reviewing applications, and they're admitting students as they go along.

So in a way, rolling admission is like a never-ending game of musical chairs. As long as there are seats available, students can keep trying to get one. And as soon as a student is admitted, that seat is taken and the game continues. Hopefully, by the end of the game (aka the admissions season), all of the seats (spots in college) have been filled.
