Late Deadline Colleges 2016: 31 Schools Still Accepting Student Applications For Fall

If you’re a high school senior still weighing your post-graduation options, you don’t need to worry — you can still apply and get admitted to hundreds of colleges for the upcoming fall term.

The National Association for College Admission Counseling released its annual College Openings Update this week with a list of public and private higher education institutions that still have space for first-year and transfer students even though the traditional May 1 deadline has passed. More than 300 schools are named, and more than 50 of them are among Money Magazine's top colleges, according to TIME. Only eight — all located outside the United States — said they didn't have any financial aid left to offer.

“We hope students who need to rethink their admission options will benefit from knowing that these opportunities are available,” the association's CEO, Joyce E. Smith, said in a statement last year. “Students and families should know that admission is an ongoing process for many institutions.”

Here are 31 of the institutions on the 2016 list. Reach out directly to the college itself for more information, but note that schools' websites will keep updating for about two months, so check back frequently.
