<p>Let me preface this post with this- I fully intended to go to Baylor University before this summer. After I visited the University of Alabama, 10 years of devotion to Baylor was out the window. I was hooked on this school. I just got an acceptance letter and since I will become a National Merit semi-finalist (228 PSAT will qualify me in Texas), I will be eligible for a full scholarship. I wanted to know if you all enjoyed the school and if anyone knows how the honors program pre-med program is (I will probably major in neurology or something similar), and foreign language department is (a possible minor for me.) Also, I am a minority female, so would that affect how I am accepted at the school? Is sorority life something I should consider? Sorry for the long post, but I just want to make sure this is the place I want to spend the next four years of my life at.</p>

<p>Did you apply for the Honors College?</p>
<p>You should put your enrollment and housing deposits down ASAP to ensure you get first choice of the dorm you prefer.</p>
<p>Look at the thread here for Class of 2014 for potential roommates. There will also be a Facebook Page you should join.</p>
<p>Read every thread in this entire forum. Really. Every one of them. You will know everything!!!</p>
<p>Keep up your grades Senior year. Apply for additional scholarships if you need them…your counselor should be able to help…consider filing for financial aid. You need to talk with your folks about expenses.</p>
<p>It would be super if one of your parents could join this forum. We’d be thrilled to have the entire family on board.</p>
<p>If you are from the Houston area, we have a great BAMA recruiter with whom I can put you in contact. There are recruiters for every part of Texas…just let us know what you need.</p>

<p>Again, congratulations, Roll Tide, and Welcome to the best school I’ve ever seen…</p>
<p>Congratulations! You will probably be a NMF too. </p>
<p>There is quite a bit more than full tuition included with the NMF scholarship.
