Hello! To explain my situation a bit, I'm an international student. I want to become a psychiatrist one day but as it stands, nursing is the major I have to choose. Since they do two years are the campus and two years at the Dallas campus, I've been told I can't pursue a double major or take on extra classes.

I was wondering if I could take anything in the summer or work for a year or two after college and take the necessary classes during that time? Does that sound like a good plan? or if anyone has better suggestions I'd love to have more ideas of what I could do...

are there any jack and jill bathrooms in the dorms or is it all communal?

I have been looking around the website, and I have yet to find anything that explicitly says when I should submit it by. Does anyone have any specific dates?

Hello everyone, I have a D in a class that I need for my degree. I bombed one test after some really hard stuff happened in my personal life and it’s going to be really hard to come back from, especially since everyone says this professor’s final is the hardest exam they’ve ever taken. I’m working my butt off studying every day, but if worst case scenario happens, and I get a D in this course, will I still be able to graduate this May?

My question is simple as the title : do they provide this kind of aid to students overseas ... I'm a Malaysian student who wants to join this University but the thing the web page is not clear whether or not they provide this kind of aid to students like me a freshman .... And if so how much is given

I was considering doing honors college, i’m going to be statistics but on a pre-dental pathway. I’m not sure if it’s beneficial for the amount of extra work + humanities weight on it (i do not like history or literature at all). Any other stem/pre-health people who would recommend/not recommend honors college??

I’m (class of ‘06) here visiting with my kids for the weekend and the bear habitat has been closed. Do we think it’s just because it’s been stormy this weekend? Is there any chance we might get to see the bears tomorrow before we leave?

I've already committed to Baylor and without a doubt will go here, but if someone asked you why they should go to Baylor, how would you answer?

Also, what's Waco like? whats campus like? What are some things I can expect when I arrive in the fall of 25

I submitted my honors college application and accepted my position into the BIC program before the deadline for scholarship consideration back in March, I understand there's two waves for scholarships but has anyone heard back about any yet, and is it still likely to get one?

I got accepted into Baylor. After looking at all my options, it fits well financially and checks a lot of boxes academically. That said, I’m still unsure and trying to figure out if it’s the right place for me.

I’d really appreciate some honest input from current students or alumni. I am also an international student. A few things I’ve been wondering:

• What’s Waco like to live in for a few years? Is it student-friendly?
• How are the professors and classes—especially in terms of approachability and quality?
• Is it easy to make friends and find your group?
• Are there many international students on campus? Is there a strong international student community?
• How’s the support for internships/research/career stuff?
• Anything you wish you knew before committing?

I’m not looking for sugarcoated answers, just trying to get a clearer picture before making a decision. Thanks in advance.

I live in east village and I'm considering buying a car but it's already almost the end of the semester so paying the full 365$ parking permit for a full academic year seems like a waste. I need to park basically all the time. Any ideas of where I can put the car? I don't mind walking a bit

Had a fantastic and honest chat about the struggles for the Baylor softball program this season with head coach Glenn Moore including injuries, the rise of Lillie Walker, and much more. https://youtu.be/-HlRC3gM6sU?si=tvtVcG9oT9gnutyY

Between subsidized and unsubsidized loans, the Pell grant, the VA, and my merit scholarship, I have 60k a year covered. My mom hasn’t filled out her end of the CSS profile so I don’t even know how much I’d get from that.

I know on the est cost of attendance it says 87k a year. What more can I do? I’ve been applying for scholarships but haven’t heard anything back yet. My family doesn’t want me taking out private loans.

It’s coming down to the final month for decision as a high school senior. I’m choosing between a couple schools and one is Baylor. I got in and the cost would be around 32k a year. Do you think this is worth it and the ROI is good enough for that. I would definitely have to pull out loans to be able to afford this. Also can you ask the admissions office for more aid or no?

Hi! I was accepted to Baylor and was considering applying for SRF. Is it worth it for a pre-med student knowing I have to keep my GPA up? Thank you!

Deciding between these two for Pre-Med. Got into the Honors College and University Scholars program. Have 100K merit and 35K Grant but still around 50K/year will be the COA. Not sure if I can swing for any more scholarships or grants?

I’m having trouble picking between UT and baylor. For reference, I was admitted to Statistics & Data Science at UT, but I realized now I want to become a Dentist.

What I know about Baylor: I know Baylor has a really high med/dental school acceptance rate. The class sizes are smaller, and classes are all taught by real professors (not TAs). The classes are still hard, but not as competitive and more collaborative. However, Baylor’s social scene is nowhere near UT. Waco is also somewhat of a con in and of itself. I would have to pay ~40k for all 4 years because of scholarships.

UT Austin: I’m worried at UT i will struggle with pre-requisite classes because of the large class sizes and competitive classes. Statistics isnt an easy major, and if i want to change my major it’s very difficult. Clubs are competitive, students are competitive. However, UTs social scene is unmatched, the prestige as well. I wouldn’t have to pay as much (likely less than 10k for 4 years). Med/dental school acceptance is much lower at around 47%.

Any opinions/insights? Right now I’m leaning towards Baylor, but I’m worried I’ll miss out at UT.

I am facing a midlife crisis. I’m about 27 days until I have to commit to a college and the only thing I can think about is the financial aspect. I will be major in Neuroscience for both schools.

My dream school is Baylor, for background

• I am a first generation college student

• I got a 120k scholarship (32k per semester) from Baylor for 8 semesters

• I have enough college credits to graduate in under 3 years (dual credit will graduate with associates degree)

Even with the amount I got Baylor is overall an expensive school and I’m struggling to wrap my mind about the amount of debt I will be facing. I know they have high med school acceptances so that would help me out in the long run. Plus I heard they have really good classes that prepare you for the MCAT.

UTSA

• I wouldn’t have to pay for housing since I have family I would live with

• Much easier to pay off, so debt would be minimal but not zero

• I haven’t really heard or I informed myself about their Pre med program.

• I could possibly try to transfer to UT Austin after my first year there. I would love to try but what are the chances if anyone could let me know.

Pls help me I don’t know what to do, quite literally spiraling

Hey I just wanted to say for incoming students (girls) if you are interested in living at Uparks specifically 3 bed room 3 baths I just put my apartment on the waitlist so there might be chance for you to get it each person gets a private bedroom and closet and it’s a first floor apartment soooo yeah I just really want to break my housing contract to live off campus 😭

Im planning on majoring in Biology, and having a minor in the Russian language. During the foundations/task list, one of the options was taking the placement test.

I know that there is a requirement for baylor students to take like 6 credits of language, and that a minor needs around 18.

Should I take the placement test? Even if I'm not planning to minor until next year?

Also, will those 6 credits (if I take them) be part of the 18 credit minor if I decide to take them?

Hello all,

Looking for opinions on Physics 1408/1409 vs Physics 1420/1430. I am computer science and can do either one. Thanks in advance.

I'll start this by saying my dream school is UT Austin, which I didn't get accepted to. I am #2 in my small class of 15, missed #1 by 0.01 pts.

I got accepted to Baylor with a $25k/year scholarship and into the BIC program, which is really exciting and my passion. I also got into TXState pre-nursing/honors with $8k/year scholarship.

In looking at the degree plans, Baylor (pre-nursing+BIC) doesn't look like it would transfer well to UT, if I apply to transfer there later. TXState seems like a better option for tansferring.

Is Baylor (my 2nd choice) really worth the amount of debt I'd have? I don't qualify for other aid and my parents can't help more than the $10k/year in my college fund. Baylor pretty much said anyone who is pre-nursing with the minimum GPA gets into the nursing program. I am not sure if that is true for TXState.

TXState isn't as highly ranked as Baylor and I feel like I'm throwing away all the hard work I did in highschool to go there. Or, should I just go to ACC for free and then apply to transfer somewhere?

I've always wanted to go to UT Austin and I finally got my ticket in but only with a major I have ZERO interest in. My goal is to eventually get into med school or go the PA route but in case that doesn't work out or I change my mind I would like a profitable bachelors that I can use as a "back up".. My parents have always pushed me towards engineering but I have a lot of doubt in myself academically and am afraid I won't keep a high enough gpa with engineering to be considered for competitive medical programs.

My parents are team baylor because my scholarship makes it's price equal to UT's and it is a smaller school, which i'm used to. It is also much safer but I'm afraid I'll always wonder "what if I chose UT" if I went to Baylor.

Baylor sounds like the safer route and I could always transfer out of engineering, it just doesn't feel 100% right with me because of how hard I worked to get into UT.

I talked to a councilor and they believe it would not be crazy hard to do an internal transfer at UT (aiming for college of natural sciences?) but it's still a gamble. I know a lot of great people going to Baylor, It just feels off but I know I could grow to love it and at least they have shown that they want me..

Or does it have to be shipped to 1 Bear Place #dorm Waco, TX 76798

I'm majoring in Finance/maybe will end up doing pre-med. Baylor will be ~28k/yr (55k/yr merit) and UVA will be 50k a year (30k/yr merit). Does Baylor provide enough alumni support and post grad placement to justify going here over UVA? I am out of state for both and I would like to work in either Chicago, Boston, or New York post grad.
