Cooperative Admissions Examination (COOP) Practice Exam

In the context of applying to a program with mandatory participation, applications are generally processed as soon as they are submitted. This allows the admissions committee to review each application promptly and determine eligibility and suitability for the program within an ongoing process.

Processing applications as they are submitted is particularly beneficial for both the applicants and the institution. It enables timely communication regarding admissions decisions and helps students secure their spots in the program early on, which can be essential in a competitive admission landscape. This approach can also assist students in planning their schedules and preparations accordingly.

The other options refer to specific times that do not align with the typical admission process. Waiting until the end of the semester, the end of the application period, or after final exams would not facilitate an efficient review process and could create unnecessary delays for applicants eager to know their status in the program.
