Hi I’m an incoming freshman at Baylor and I can’t figure out what dorm to choose! Penland and brooks flats are my top but im open to others. I love brooks flats but not the two year contract part of it. I don’t know much abt brooks flats community at all. Penland ive heard many conflicting things so I dont know much about Penland either!

I wasn’t able to bring my car for the first few months of school so I never got a parking pass and the website will not let me buy one so if I park at the Ferrell center, will I get ticketed? Also, what’s the likelihood of me being able to buy a pass for Dutton in the spring semester?

Apologize for another one of these but I want the hard truth

Demographic: Sri Lankan Male, First Gen, Out of State

GPA Weighted: 3.65(my school doesn't do unweighted)

Admission plan: Early action

Taken 9 APs and 9 Honors

EC: NHS, DECA, Computer Science Society, Lacrosse, Job as a server, did over 52+ hours of volunteering, Fundraiser(raised over $1.5k for STEM students in Sri Lanka)

I know my gpa is a lil low but I showed improvement throughout and ended with a 4.0 senior year

Got my essay and supplementals checked out by my lit teacher and some college friends so hopefully its good

How low are my chances?

We will be making our first visit to Waco for the KU game this Saturday and are looking for parking/eating/drinking suggestions. The game is at 11 so we were planning to get there around 8 and park somewhere on the south end of campus to get some beers and food at Dancing Bear or some place similar, then do some sight seeing on campus while heading to the game, cross the Brazos, maybe stop at George’s tailgate and then head in.

1. Will bars be open that early for a game day?
2. Is there an essential campus bar we need to see?
3. Any advice on parking?
4. Anything else we must see/do in the small window of time we have?

hi i applied early action to baylor on october 17 and many of the people at my school who applied early action have already recieved their decision. i was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this because i heard baylor is quick with their decisions.

Submitted my application November 19- regular deadline. When should I expect a reply?

When does the second semester start?

Hi Baylor reddit, I'm a current high school senior and I've been told to expand my list of schools. I am hoping to major in equine sciences and maybe go into vet school (not sure yet) so I'm wondering if Baylor has an equine sciences major. All my searches so far have just led to the eq team and online courses. Please help!

I'm a senior in high school and currently applying to Baylor University & I'd love help with essay + stat reviews and honest opinions/feedback!! Also I'm applying regular decision.

Hi, I am studying abroad next semester, so I am currently looking for someone to take over my lease.

This is a really nice and modern 2-person apartment, with a private bathroom and dressing, and shared and furnished kitchen, living-room and laundry equipment. My roommate is nice and almost never there. The complex has a pool - which the room has a view on - and a gym, available to residents. It’s also pet friendly and the rent is $1000 a month. I’m willing to cover the first month of rent if you sign the lease in December.

The URSA apartment complex is a 1 min drive from Baylor's campus; a shuttle bus also takes students from URSA to campus (and back), M-F, from 7:30AM to 5PM. Please note that this is complex accepts all students, not only Baylor students.

Please don't hesitate to reach out for more information and pictures :)

Has anyone had experience with double majoring in something in Computer Science and something in business, specifically MIS? Can that be done at Baylor?

Hello, I’m starting this spring. I was told by an advisor since I’m a post baccalaureate student I can register my classes by myself.. but I have no idea on how to do that. I did at my last college after the first year but it’s been almost 6 years since I was in college. Is anyone here majoring in Museum Studies or Art History? Just need to know what classes to register for

I registered for classes today and im waitlisted for 3 classes: bio 1306, heritage and Spanish what are the chances of getting off the waitlist?

Any recommendations for calc 1, bio 1306, and chem 1302?

So i was advised to take 17 hours my spring semester and about 6-8 hours during the summer but I made my schedule today and I only have 16 hours. Would I be able to take 9 hours during the summer?

I wasn't even planning on applying to Baylor but my dad really pushed me to so I submitted it last minute and I just got my acceptance letter with a 100k merit scholarship spread over the 4 years. Is that amount good enough for me to commit to Baylor. I'm also a biology major and I know Baylor is a really good choice for my pathway. I just don't want to commit and regret it just because of the scholarship.

Anyone have any comments on whether to take —

ENV 1301 (Exploring Environmental Issues) or ENV 1303 (Wildlife Ecology)

Thanks!

Im trying to make my schedule for next semester and have the choice between 2 professors for Spanish 2304. Does anyone know Rosalie Barrerra or Yulissa Torres? If so which would be the better option to take.

Just wanted to get everyone's thoughts on these two professors as it pertains to screenwriting and television writing. I'm currently about to take Elliot for both screenwriting and television writing together in the same semester but I've heard nothing but great things about both and wanted to see what everyone else says.

As the post says I'm looking for Marrs McLean Science | Room GL59 does anyone know where abouts that room is inside of Marrs McLean?

I submitted to Baylor for Bio on Oct 9, why is it taking so long for me to get my decision?

I submitted my application for Early Action in late August-early September. I’ve seen some posts of those who’ve already been admitted. Is there any system to how they review applications or is it random? I know my recommendation letter was only sent in a few weeks ago so I’m not sure if that has to do with anything. Also I know biology is a somewhat competitive major, which is what I applied for.

Have any freshmen for the 2025-2026 school year received their BearID but not their password? The forgot password option isn’t helping much as it asks for an authorization code (that I wasn’t given) or the login to one of my different accounts (which I don’t have).

Is Alex Paine for BIO 1305 good? If not, who should I take that’s not Harvill.

I'm an international student, I've applied to Baylor, but I want to know if I can avail any waivers for css profile application.

I just calculated my GPA for the first semester, and it's a 3.2. I have two B’s in science courses, which are pretty important. I know I need a 3.6 to stay on track, and ideally a 3.8 to be competitive. It’s only going to get harder, especially with all the hours we have to put in. Am I in trouble, or do I still have a chance? I know it’s just freshman year, but if I’m struggling with basic chemistry, how am I going to handle the more advanced stuff later on? Did anyone else go throught this?

If you know you know. I just want to reach out to others and make sure I am not the only one noticing things about this course.

If you are taking this course, I think you might understand my frustration with the course. I need to verify I am not the only one who feels cheated by the course.
