I'm really worried about the conditionality of the scholarship.
looking at these recent decisions I'm kinda shocked I got waitlisted for fall. Looks like tons of people even below my stats made it and I've had success at other schools so I don't think it's my apps
@VersedImperfectMouse: i think it might be because they've let in a lot of people already that they are just being more cautious and WLing until deposits
great scholarship offer though!

Did anyone get scholarship money for the summer term?
Baylor handing out fat unsolicited scholarship increases today

BronzeSample

at the very least, does anybody think they're going to be attending Baylor? lmao
@BronzeSample: I'm highly considering it. Its the closest campus to family and the campus itself is just beautiful

How long does it take to get the mail after your portal says “a decision has been rendered”?
My first notice was like 3 days and my second decision came after about 6 days
BronzeSample
10:45
I'd recommend calling if you haven't already! it can take awhile to get your letter
15:12
Does anyone know if spring and summer start applicants get the same scholarship packages as typical fall start applicants?

Anybody got any housing recs?

Choosing between Baylor and full ride at tech if anyone has any advice
BronzeSample
14:11
@MaddyMay22: Tech has pretty good outcomes but is mostly connected in West Texas and DFW I think. You' be taking on quite the bit of debt from Baylor, so you just decide if that debt is worth the pros vs cons of both schools

Anyone applying to a different quarter?
@Opossum, I am applying to summer
I know Baylor is accepting people now. Are they accepting people for the fall 2025 quarter, or are all the acceptances for different quarters?

I got an email saying a decision has been made. How long have people been waiting to hear the result? And do they send the result via email or physical mail?
@MapleSyrupDrinker: if you log in to the portal, it gives you a number to call to hear the decision, the dean also told me i would be receiving a packet in the mail within the next few days
I got that notification too. But you know, I like the build up the suspense. Will I have the opportunity to pay to move to Waco? Only UPS can answer that.
Got accepted today
