Baylor Class of 2025 EA/RD

Hey @Chrane03
Did you ever hear about I2E round two?
Which session did you select as your first choice? I did the honors session last night and it was completely full - perhaps that was why you were deferred.

Looking for feedback on University Scholars program. Was admitted yesterday and would like to get some feedback

No update or rescheduling for my daughter’s I2E session. Are you signed up for one of the Arts & Sciences? Or another?

Likewise - my daughter was admitted to the BIC. She accepted, but would love to hear from anyone with firsthand experience. She was invited to a session to learn more about the Honors Residential College.

Also, my daughter’s financial aid offer was updated on BearWeb. They added a need-based scholarship, work study and federal loans. However, we are still not at a place where Baylor will work financially. Holding out hope for more aid or scholarships.

Did everyone receive their admission decision yet? I was deferred :frowning:

today is the last day to be notified of admission results. my friend applied EA and she still hasn’t gotten hers back so i think they’re still sending it out! i’m so sorry about your deferral! i went through one at case western. I reapplied ED2 and ended up getting a rejection haha but i bet you’ll get in through RD if you are still interested!!

Has anyone heard about the financial aid awards yet? The language in the portal says “mid January,” and I would think we should imminently be hearing something by now? Or did I miss something?

Already posted in the portal

Our portal just says FAFSA and CSS are complete and that we should “expect to receive an estimated award from Baylor by mid-January.” I’m not sure we have received anything yet. I will keep checking. Thank you.

Our daughter’s aid letter showed up in BearWeb before there was any notification. We got an email a few days after we saw it.

I just checked Bear Web and only her scholarship appears there, so they must not have released her financial aid info yet. Thank you!

I only got $80,000 (Provost) with a 1560 SAT and a 35 ACT with good EC’s and 17 AP’s and got into the Science Research Fellows
 I’m curious how I didn’t get the $92,000 scholarship
 :frowning:

That’s so weird :frowning: did you submit test scores for the AP exams if you took them? I got the $92,000 (Presidential) and I submitted all the test scores I had (no sat or act because of health reasons). What surprises me the most is with your insane SAT and ACT score you didn’t get it! I’m guessing the Writing Supplement and our LORs played a factor as well. My ECs were really good now that I look at it, so I think that’s another factor.

That’s really weird tbh congrats on the $80,000! That’s still a lot of money!!

Oh
 wait
 I only self reported my SAT/ACT and AP’s but didn’t officially send them anything. Could that be the case? Yeah I’m really grateful for the scholarship money but I kinda need the most money I can get cuz baylor is very expensive lol

My daughter self-reported and only sent official scores after she had received her scholarship ($92K). Her test scores are not as high as yours (33 ACT), but she had the rigor, strong grades and the ECS (sports, employment, community service, etc). I wonder how much geography plays a role - are you from a state that sends a lot of students to Baylor or one that’s less represented? Did you send in your FAFSA and CSS Profile before you received your scholarship? Maybe they look at family EFC before handing out some merit scholarships? It’s a mystery and we can only speculate!
