Have a sufficient GPA,Jun 19 2013Biology
Have a sufficient GPA, SAT, and ACT score. With Baylor's exorbitant cost, it also helps a lot to have good enough scores to obtain university merit scholarships. Be sure to put time into the essays and answer them truthfully. Sic em.

Baylor is not an easy school to get into,Jan 05 2012Political Science
Baylor is not an easy school to get into, necessarily. My HS GPA is a 2.86, 98 of 300, crap right? My ACT was ok, 23. I was in band, currently in advanced journalism, I'm in Leo Club (volunteering with Lions International, I am the secretary.) I got in, in my opinion, because I wrote about wanting to use Baylor to get closer with Jesus, and how I had dreamt about attending Baylor since I was a child. If you love the school, apply super early, I did the first chance I could. Visit!!!! Make sure you visit the spring before you plan to apply, it looks good. Don't apply something you know you won't get in to, apply an easy major, you can change it later anyways. There is always a way in. Remember Baylor loves volunteerism, and extra curriculars. Have STRONG letters of rec. maybe a from a teacher you have had repeatedly, I had one from a teacher I had for 3 years, and one from a teacher I had for 2 years.

Application process was very easy -- it s all onlineJul 15 2011Journalism
Application process was very easy -- it;s all online. I'd recommend knowing the history of the university and demonstrating that you've been active in your community.

I was moderately involved in my high schoolFeb 24 2011English
I was moderately involved in my high school. I participated a lot in service clubs, and I was in band. I didn't do student government or join the drama club, though.
Mostly, I stayed on top of my academics. I took hard classes (not slacking off my senior year) and scored well on the ACT and SAT.
ACT: 34 Female
