<p>I’ll be a biochem major trying to finish pre-pharmacy courses to try and apply to a pharmacy school after college. So in terms of science (specifically Bio and Chem) which school–Baylor or Oklahoma University–is better? I also want to add that (and this isn’t meant to sound boastful or anything) I’m applying to both schools as safeties because I am offered full-rides to both if I get National Merit.</p>

<p>Both are good…I think people will say Baylor is slightly better, but probably not for science. Waco and the Baptist-affiliation could be drawbacks for some.</p>

<p>Friend attended OU for undergrad…biochem major and an ubersmart guy. He got his PhD, did postdoc work at Harvard and now working for Genentech.</p>

<p>No dancing permitted at Baylor. At OU they dance in the stands after every touchdown. That’s a lot of dancing.</p>

<p>C’mon, dancing has been allowed at Baylor since 1996.</p>

<p>Have you visited both schools? I think both are great - it’s a matter of taste and fit. </p>

<p>I sort of think of Baylor before OU in science, but I’m no expert.</p>
