And I did not get in. However, I applied regular decision and didn’t fill out some of the recommended materials because I didn’t even want to go to Baylor, but I’m just letting you guys know in case it makes someone feel a little better!
My son got his rejection letter today. ACT: 34, rank 24/705 Texas public school, 6 APs with 4 more this year, not much leadership but active in school marching band, a few clubs and community and church. He also didn’t fill out all the recommended items since he wasn’t really interested in Baylor and is going to UT Austin.
Baylor does not normally accept students who do not demonstrate interest such as not completing applications, not contacting the admissions counselor for your region and not doing a formal visit. I would highly recommend any student interested in Baylor, they need to do all these things, plus keep your grades up, make a 1100 on the new SAT and be fairly active in clubs/church.
