I agree with @Scumbag_Steve. Your stats are fine.

This depends a lot on the rest of your application. If you need help picking schools outside of Texas that are likely the four most expensive in the country, I would be glad to help you it. If the rest of your application is outstanding I don't see why you wouldn't be a competitive applicant to Texas schools

I think the rest of my application is decent (recs, essays, etc.) but I'm worried that my science GPA might not be good enough although I think my overall GPA and DAT are OK.

You could take more science classes over the summer to be safe I suppose. You could also apply to cheap OOS.

I had some other plans for the summer already set but if my science GPA is really low i would forgo that and just stay home and take more classes.. What would you recommend? Is it common for the science GPA to be a bit lower than the overall?

I am just trying to figure out what I will be doing this summer.

Yes. It's very rare that someone has a sci GPA higher than their overall.

Last year Baylor's average incoming stats were.
3.61 Overall
3.49 Science
21 AA DAT

Your science is a little below the average but your DAT is above the average.
How many upper division biology courses have you taken? That is extremely important to gain admissions to Baylor.

Thank you! I have taken several upper division classes in biology!! I think I will be working this summer rather than taking more courses.

Can you list some cheap OOS schools for Texas residents? I sort of have the same stats, but I'll be doing my DAT later on. I'm just really stuck on choosing out state schools.

Ohio State, UConn, Rutgers, Buffalo, UNLV, sometimes Maryland (just like a,e,i,o u and sometimes y are vowels!) all offer in-state after the first year. Creighton and Pitt aren't exorbitant. There are others that I can't think of off the top of my head.

Thanks, appreciate it!
