Congrats to her.

From an offering and industry respect POV in engineering, Baylor - while having ABET accredited programs, is simply not on Arizona’s level.

You also have to factor in the religious angle - does that work for you or does it not ?

The last thing to note - there are colleges out there that increase merit to students that remain undecided ‘late’ - meaning they need more students - so it might make sense to wait for a school like Baylor if wanting to attend.

Here’s a thread I started. See the first school on the list.

Good luck

Colleges that increase merit - if you haven't yet accepted

I thought I’d start this to help current and maybe future years. We read a lot about - should you turn down admission if you know you’re not going to attend. For some, that could work - but others may be turning down based on cost. And as we’ve seen these past few days, colleges seem to be offering extra money to students who haven’t signed on - or declined. Will that extra money entice you to go from no to yes? Just in the past week, I’ve read about increased offers from: Baylor U Portland Xavier (Ohio) There’s more but I can’t remember. If you have a recently “enhanced” offer from a school, please list the school so that others can know - maybe I should wait until April 28th to accept!! And for those applying next year, perhaps it’d be a sound strategy as well.
