<p>i dont know anybody who has every gone to baylor/bcm but that's probably because no one knows about it at my school. im pretty sure it's obvious to see that rice/baylor is significantly harder to get into though. however, i know two people who got into rice/baylor and they had some amazing stats. jenskate1, correct me if i'm wrong, but aren't you in rice/baylor? i think i remember reading that in some other thread. anyways, im jealous of you :).</p>
<p>yeah, i am. it's pretty sweet.</p>
<p>jenskate what were your stats?</p>
<p>quick! The Rice/Baylor app is mail only, right? How are u guys completing it? Are you printing your answers then taping it on there, or are u copying and pasting the text of the questions into word?</p>
<p>who wants to read my "greatest adversity" essay? only people who have submitted their apps please.</p>
<p>bump...
another question: does programming games on my calculator qualify as a non-academic activity? or would I be better off writing about my treehouse?</p>
<p>and what about tutoring?</p>
<p>write about the one you feel most strongly about.</p>
<p>There's also a program for Baylor Medical School through UT Pan-Am</p>
<p>Acceptance to the Premedical Honors College (PHC) provides conditional admission to Baylor College of Medicine upon completion of undergraduate requirements at UT-PA. The conditional acceptance requires students to maintain a 3.4 minimum GPA (on a 4.0 scale), and a 3.1 science GPA, and to score a minimum of 27 on the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) with no section less than 7.</p>
<p>wow those are low standards.</p>
<p>hows the baylor/baylor program easier to get into?! they only accept 4 people instead of 15 (Rice/Baylor)???</p>
<p>i'm wondering the same thing as kunnel_25. shouldn't it be equally competitive at any school since Baylor ultimately makes the decisions and they're not going to favor applicatns from one school over another?</p>
<p>the ut-pan american is for people from south texas only. and ok well you see, not many people are aware of the baylor/baylor program. many more people know of the rice/baylor and therefore apply there. im not sure about this, and i dont have actual evidence to back this up, but i just think that rice/baylor is significantly harder to get into simply because of the increased competition.</p>
<p>good point, but don't you think Baylor C of Med would act accordingly because of that, which is why they only accept 4 people from Baylor U? Just throwing some thoughts out there</p>
<p>im not entirely sure what your question is. i think you should apply to the one where you think you have the best shot and where you think you'll be happier.</p>
<p>what is the "ideal" stats for rice/baylor(even though they look for more than grades and SAT...)</p>
<p>hpa10 so where would i have the best shot? is Baylor/baylor really easier? that is the question.
Also, what if I send a rec from a hospital volunteer coordinator, even though the baylor app asks nothing of an extra rec?</p>
<p>I've never heard of residency restrictions as far as the UTPA program goes, I've been to their presentation 3 times and they haven't mentioned anything of the sort.</p>
<p>^ look here :</p>
<p>Bacc/MD</a> programs - Medical School - Baylor College of Medicine</p>
<p>it says "Applications are restricted to South Texas High School students,..."</p>
<p>john, i honestly don't know where you would have the best shot. im not an adcom but my school tends to send a lot of kids to various bs/md programs and i know a few that got into rice/baylor, so i just use their stats to compare to other applicants. im not entirely sure that baylor/bcm is easier, thats just an assumption. im not too sure about the extra rec either, but don't you get the application to baylor/bcm after acceptance to baylor? im pretty sure they would ask for a rec. would you mind posting your stats?</p>
<p>for the extra rec, i'm talking about Rice/Baylor (they don't need an extra one). I honestly haven't looked too much into baylor/bcm since I only found out about it through this forum, but if the deadline for that is Feb then i have some timee still</p>
