Baylor University Admissions

Baylor is moderately selective with a 45.88% acceptance rate. Nearly half of applicants get admitted, making it competitive but achievable for solid students. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 1230-1410 on the SAT or around 31 on the ACT. These scores reflect the academic caliber of the student body at this Baptist research university. The 90.62% retention rate suggests students find what they're looking for once enrolled. Baylor seeks students who balance strong academics with Christian values and community engagement. The university particularly values applicants interested in business, pre-health tracks, or those who want to combine faith with rigorous academics in a Division I athletic environment.
