About.com Guide, Karen Schweitzer, Defines 'Rolling Admission' as follows:
Rolling admissions are a type of admissions policy. Business schools that use a rolling admissions policy review applications as they receive them.

How Rolling Admissions Work
Some business schools have multiple "rounds" or deadlines during the admissions process. Business schools with rolling admissions do not.

How to Deal with Rolling Admissions
When dealing with rolling admissions, it is important to remember that admissions committees will be reviewing applications as they come in. This means the decisions will be made and seats will be filled throughout the admissions process.

If you wait until the last minute to submit your application in a rolling admissions situation, there is a good chance that the majority of seats will already be filled.

Bottom Line
It is always better to submit your application early when you are working with a school that uses rolling admissions.

Wikipedia defines rolling admission as follows:

Rolling admission is a policy used by many colleges to admit freshmen to undergraduate programs. Under rolling admission, a candidate is invited to submit his application to the university anytime within a large window. The window is usually over six months long, and some schools do not have a previously specified end date (the window simply closes when all spots are filled). The university will then review the application and notify the applicant of their decision within a few weeks from submission.

Advantages of rolling admission:
Rolling admission is helpful to both students and university admissions offices, because the process is more mellow and applications do not all flow in at the same time, respectively. Students can finish their application anytime between the summer before their senior year and midway through their senior year and can submit it at leisure, taking the time to carefully review their application and not getting anxious about a nearing deadline. The organization receives applications continuously rather than in one or two bursts and is thus able to spend more time on each application individually.

Collegeconfidential.com defines Rolling Admission as follows:
The idea behind “Rolling Admission” is that it enables candidates to receive an admission decision within a predetermined period after submitting an application. Typically, the decision arrives about two months after the application process is complete and often far sooner.

Colleges without Rolling Admission usually have a specific deadline, and no applications are evaluated before this deadline, no matter how early they are received. All decision letters are then mailed to candidates on the same day, which is generally in late March or early April.

When you apply to Rolling Admission colleges, it is wise to ask several questions. Find out how early you can submit an application and if sooner is better when it comes to getting aid, housing, choices of classes or academic program. Find out, too, if these determinations are based on the date you applied or on the date you accepted the offer of admission. Ask also how quickly you should expect to get your news—good or bad—in the mail and when you need to inform the college of your plans.

Thus, if you apply via Rolling Admission, don't forget to ask admission officials how soon you need to respond, if admitted. Those institutions that do not belong to the CRDA group may insist on hearing from you before you have received all admission decisions. If this is the case, find out if you can get an extension in order to wait for all your letters to arrive. If the answer is no, you might want to consider delaying your Rolling Admission application until the notification date coincides with the notification you will receive from your remaining target schools.
