Has anybody tried contacting Baylor admissions? I have tried calling and it goes to an answering machine. When do they reopen from the break?

Spring semester starts back up January 7. But they have payments and stuff due before then, so I feel like there should be staff back in the office already. Anyway, called and left a message today.

Just got an email with subject: "Entering Students additional forms required"
 
Me too. I guess they got my "acceptance".
 
anyone know how long it takes for them to get back to you after an interview in the 2nd round? with all of yall in the first round you guys knew you would hear by Dec. 3rd, what about us 2nd round folks?
 
Did anyone complete the background check yet. If so what was the turn around time and did they also provide you a copy of the report. Thanks
 
could really use some advice!!! i applied around august time but my letters of rec were not received until september. i had an interview at Baylor on nov 28. this was my only interview. i graduated this december and had planned to study and retake my dat this spring while taking a post bac class (during my interview, they highly recommended taking post bac classes). i did not get in first round so i am hoping for second round acceptance. when i talked to my adviser he did not recommend retaking my dat because there is always a chance i could do worse. he said my gpa (3.55) and dat(AA:19 TS:18 (QR brought me down)) score was average and it could be the fact that i applied so late that i did not get interviews anywhere else. if i do not get in this year, i am going to reapply in may. so basically, if the reason i do not get in this year is only bc i applied late, then retaking my dat isn't worth the risk. but if that is not the reason, then the only thing i can do to improve my application in this short amount of time is re take my dat. one idea i had was to reapply in may, study for my dat until august/sept and if i do not receive interviews by then, i will retake it. when i ran this by my adviser and another adviser at my school, they said that they would take it before i apply again in may but to realize there is a risk. i could really use some advise! please help

You were given advice by those who matter the most, yet you chose to ignore it.
 
Hey kfaze you should consider retaking the DAT. You can do a lot better. Good luck.

I believe historically, SA and Baylor try to fill their entire class early on. Houston fills a little more than half on Dec 1 and goes from there.
 
One of my friends received a rejection e-mail from Baylor today. Subject: No Further Interviews (TMDSAS Applicants).
 
Rejected by Baylor. Also know about 3 or 4 others who got the same email today. :cry:
 
Official rejection by Baylor...they send me email 4 times.

That's amazing! Congrats! Are you accepting?

Thank you! I am not sure, yet...I accepted Baylor after first round. San Antonio is my hometown, so it's tough for me to be unbiased. But I also really did love Baylor. They are giving two weeks to make the decision. Either way, a spot will show up at SA or Baylor for someone after I choose! 🙂

My UTHSCSA interview was October 1. First round people for SA had until around the 9th I think. First round people for Baylor had until Jan 7.

Historically, Houston is still doing interviews at this time in the application cycle. Now, I cannot speak for them as of this week, but I know they were still doing interviews last week. I saw Dr. P doing one of his tours whenI was checking out of the school. Most like interviews are still happening.

Maybe they're keeping a limited number of alternates, in case people forfeit deposits and switch schools. Can't be a bad sign.
 
Sorry to bother you guys, but can the people who got accepted into the Texas schools please post their DAT score, gpa, and which school accepted them??
It would give me an idea of what I need to be competitive.

If your GPA is under 3.3, then you need to score a 21+ to have a chance. Even with a 3.5 and 21, my friend still go rejected from all 3. That wanted him to take more upper level science classes and consider a masters. Texas is ultra competitive. My best friend had a 3.9 GPA and 22 on the DAT and Baylor rejected her; Houston and SA accepted her. Baylor is weird and rather unpredictable.
 
My stats:
Junior at Texas Public University
oGPA: 3.67, sGPA: 3.85 (both can go up or down as I'm not finished)
DAT: (AA/TS/RC/PAT) 20/19/19/19 nothing below 18.
100 hours of shadowing at dental clinic
Btw, I'm a biochemistry major, so I'll have plenty of upper level science classes.

Do you think I have a chance at an interview? I'm from Houston, and would love to stay here.

You will get in as long as you don't assault your interviewer.

Are you being serious? I come on SDN and see other people's stats and I get depressed... lol
Is a 20 a good enough score for Texas schools? I feel like it's average

I got an email back from baylor today after asking where they were with the process. They determine if they even need a 2nd round of offer in Feburary. They'll send those out then. After that an alternate list is formed in April.
