Accepted last cycle, let me know if you have any questions about the school/timeline (not the essays please bc I don't remember them lol)
sheesh i basically just listed the things i did lolI did a fresh one about adversity. Or are you trying to stick with the ECs?
2. Are you planning to matriculate into medical school immediately after completing your undergraduate education? If not, please explain what activities and/or careers you have pursued in the time between your college education and your application.(short answer)
No choice since they ask the same question. It can be a sentence or twoPrompt #2 seems to be covered in the 'Planned Activities' section of the Primary Application. So should I just repeat the same things again? Also, it says 'short answer' but provides no character limit. Any idea how short of an answer they are looking for?
So just one or two sentences per activity planned. Thanks.It can be a sentence or two
what are the specific questions?Just out of curiosity, why are they asking the same economic status questions that are in the primary in the beginning of the secondary. Do we think they are actually using this to evaluate an applicant or just for research purposes?
it says short answer.super-nontrad here
how long do i go into essay #2?
it's unlimited but no idea how long to go
tried calling, they told me to email. then i emailed, then got no response.
I was going by what was pasted in the prompts.prompt as it shows for me:
- Are you planning to matriculate into medical school immediately after completing your undergraduate education? If not, please explain what activities and/or careers you have pursued in the time between your college education and your application.
it doesn't say short answer.
I tried pasting a 6000 character response and it worked
sorry if i wasnt clear.
If anyone can tell me if there is an actual character limit on this prompt I will update it.prompt as it shows for me:
- Are you planning to matriculate into medical school immediately after completing your undergraduate education? If not, please explain what activities and/or careers you have pursued in the time between your college education and your application.
it doesn't say short answer.

what are the specific questions?
This is a financial status evaluation to determine need based scholarships.1. Educational expenses have been paid by: (Include undergraduate and graduate school expenses. Enter 0 if not applicable. Sum percentage must total 100%)
2. Were you required to contribute to the overall family income as opposed to working primarily for your own discretionary spending money while attending High School and College?
The time is now to clarify your transcript with them.I received an email from Baylor saying that after a review of my application, I did not meet the prerequisites, and they requested that I reply with any other courses I am planning to take (I graduated last year). I'm sure that I have met the prereqs, though. The only thing that might've caused confusion is that I have 2 transcripts from transferring colleges. I am planning to send an email replying with a list if the prerequisites I have taken, but am not sure if they will accept my application for reconsideration. Has this happened to anyone else in the past, and how was the situation resolved?
I understand, and thanks for letting me know; hopefully it is just a misunderstanding.The time is now to clarify your transcript with them.
Be aware that they do not accept AP credits to fulfill any of their prereqs, even English
Thanks for sharing the information with everyone.After emailing Baylor admissions, it turns out that they do not accept coursework completed at a university prior to high school graduation, even if the course was accepted on your transcript for college credit. It won't be too hard to make up my course this year, but to anyone in the future who is wondering if this will be an issue with Baylor, yeah
