Yes. Application was complete around 10/15 so I am sure it will be awhile before I hear anything. My go Baylor account only shows a completed application etc. Thanks for the info and congratulations again.

Congrats! I was accepted the other day as well! I talked to an admissions officer, and she said that the merit aid amount will come with the official acceptance letter, which they started mailing on November 2nd.

I got in a few days ago. Quick question though. Even if I'm not sure if I'm attending will it be advantageous to put in the deposit now? Will it put me at the head of the queue when dorms are picked? I can also get my deposit refunded by May 1st if i decide not to attend, correcT?

I got in the day after the application closed. I checked online and they had it posted there. A few days later they sent me the documents (in an awesome big envelope with a gold seal), and the financial aid info was attached there. It basically just told me about the scholarship that I qualified for. I think all other financial aid you have to apply for?

Hm, after seeing all these acceptances, my son and I went to his account and see that he's been accepted, too. No letters in the mail or any news about scholarships, though.

He's a NMSF but I'm not sure if he'll name Baylor or UTD as his first choice.

Does he fill out the fafsa now? How do scholarships work at Baylor? I think he qualifies for the highest level based on his gpa (4.0) and SAT I (2320) but I'm not really sure. Should he talk with his counselor or will they eventually email/text/mail him something?

sbjdorlo, the FAFSA wont become available until Jan 1st. you should be receiving info on his scholarship earned very soon and then you can contact the school.
