<p>Also I received the Baylor Select application in the mail. Does that mean anything? </p>
<p>I’m no expert on chances, but regarding the Select application, no that doesn’t mean anything. To explain, I have twins, one got it, one didn’t. When I inquired, I was told by the admissions counselor that everyone gets the same deal and the “Select” application is a marketing thing. Good luck though!!! I would think your chances are quite good!</p>
<p>Please do not take anything I’m about to say the wrong way. You asked an opinion and I will give you one.</p>
<p>I’m not wild about your chances. This is not to say that you absolutely won’t get in, but your stats present a real mixed bag based on what you presented.</p>
<p>Pros:
Strong course load
Good ECs
Good High School</p>
<p>Neutral:
SAT is middle of the road, to below average. (Not nationally, but among their accepted students.)</p>
<p>Negative:
GPA. Unless that is calculated on a scale I’m not familiar with, it is a real problem. Having a C average over all is going to leave you with a very uphill battle. You may wish to talk to an admissions counselor to get their feel for it, but I am not confident that can be overcome.</p>
<p>If your heart is set on Baylor your best option will likely be the “Baylor Bound” program where you spend one or two years at a pre-approved Junior College, then (with good grades) have a guaranteed admission with guaranteed course transfer credit.</p>

<p>All that being said, don’t let me discourage you. Talk to a counselor, and if they think you have a shot, go ahead and apply. Best of luck, and remember… everything I said is just the opinion of an outside. Do your best to prove me wrong! We are all pulling for you!</p>
