As much as I’d hate to repeat what others have said, STV, I think you have made a sound decision.

I just completed my freshman year at Baylor. I am in the Honors, Great Texts, and Baylor Interdisciplinary Core programs and I am studying economics, and I do not regret my decision to come here. Although my situation wasn’t like yours when I applied to schools last year (Baylor was offered admission - rejected from both Stanford and Duke), you’ll find that the Honors College at Baylor are very much competitive with other schools that are seen as more prestigious.

As far as prestige, my opinion is that it’s more notable what you did while you are an undergrad, and not where you attended.

And since anything else I say at this point will hearken back to points made by Thisisnow and frogster, I will back them up by saying that you’ll be fine going to Baylor.

Sic’ em!
