I just got accepted on the 21st. How were you notified about your scholarship?

3

Did you submit a resume and/or recommendations? How did you find out about you scholarship?

4

Also, when was the last part of your application submitted? A.K.A how long did it take Baylor to respond

@nahimgood and @baylor2020 - When I opened my GoBaylor account to access my acceptance notification, it listed my scholarship at the bottom. I uploaded recs and my resume, and I submitted my app on the 6th of Oct. If it helps I used the Baylor select app, meaning I didn’t have to write an essay or pay the app fee.
