Baylor University Early Action / Early Decision for Fall 2025 Admission

We had a funny call last night. My phone rang and caller ID showed as “Baylor University.” I answered, said hello, someone on the other end said hello, and all I heard was giggling and a lot of loud laughter and then they hung up.

I assume this is one of those student to student recruitment calls? But they called me, not my daughter, and then there was the abrupt hang up. I’m not sure what to think.

My daughter received her acceptance to Baylor and the aviation program tonight. We are super excited!

Hoping others who are waiting hear something soon.

Hi! Congrats on your daughter’s acceptance. Do you mind providing some stats? I see your daughter was invited to theI2E. My son has applied also, but has begun to loose hope…

We committed this week. After doing a quick visit last weekend we all could see her there. Best of luck to you all!

That’s awesome; congratulations to you all.

I think it’s going to be April before we can commit anywhere.

One of my concerns about Baylor is the huge tuition increases they have been having every year. I want to make sure we can afford it for all 4 years.

Was wondering if anyone has any information about the Baylor2Law program? My daughter is registered, but we are wondering what to expect.

BU’s guaranteed tuition program offers some clarity. Pay a higher tuition rate initially (typically first two years) but that rate is locked in for all 4 years. I guess the savings starts the 3rd year. The rate is locked in during the first semester of freshman year so you know what you will be paying every semester after that if you remain in the program.

Correct, my oldest daughter is BU class of 2027. We did the guaranteed tuition program and just paid her second semester sophomore year and this is the first year paying a bit less than the current or “unlocked” tuition rate. It didn’t take long for the guaranteed plan to become more efficient for us.

There are always exceptions, but it feels like most tuition rates only go up. Especially so for schools that are in demand.

Very helpful—I had not heard of this. Thank you.

Happy Monday! Please chime in if you may have an idea of when the next drop of EA Acceptances will go out? TY

I don’t think anyone knows? But you will hear for sure by February 1st. Sorry it’s taking so long.

I thought it never hurts to ask. Thank you.:slight_smile:

Oh definitely it never hurts to ask. The waiting is so hard! I get it. The waiting is worse than the applying! And I wanted to give you some kind of answer, to let you know that you were seen and heard. :green_heart:

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate that! Even waiting to see if anyone had insight was difficult so I absolutely appreciate you chiming in! It is so hard!

You are not alone. I’ve got one at Baylor, another one accepted ED and are still waiting on her twin who applied EA. She’s starting to feel like she may not get in. :disappointed:

That is difficult! Is your ED at Baylor as well? I would think you are relatively safe if all stats were similar? Thank you for chiming in.

I have one older DD that is a JR. at BU. Now have the newest ED admitted one, and still waiting on EA twin. The twins have different majors. They are pretty similar, ED did that bc BU was it for her. She knew this is what she wanted. I am concerned that applying differently may affect them. Just recently their friend, who is also a twin, said she got in and het twin was declined. Sooo stressful.

That is quite a stressful situation. Is your EA twin now 100% sold on BU? Keep us posted. Thanks and best of luck!
