What percentage of applicants does Baylor admit?

I have Baylor on my shortlist but I'm getting anxious about acceptance rates. Does anyone know what percent of applicants Baylor admits? Is it super competitive, or might I have a decent shot?

Baylor University's acceptance rate can fluctuate from year to year based on the number and quality of applications received. However, as of the most recent data, Baylor's deemed a "more selective" university, with its acceptance rate hovering around the mid-40% range. Though this means it does reject more than it accepts, acceptance rates near 50% are generally considered moderately competitive.

A variety of factors can shape your potential of being admitted, including your academic performance, SAT/ACT scores (if you choose to submit them), extracurricular involvement, and essays. Given the acceptance rate, it's essential to make sure your application stands out in terms of these areas to improve your chances of admission.

Do your best to highlight your academic strengths as well as your involvement in extracurricular activities which can demonstrate your commitment and leadership skills. Also, take your time with the essays. They're your chance to showcase your personality and express your interest in the school.

Ultimately, it's important not to focus solely on acceptance rates. While they provide a snapshot of the institution's selectivity and can guide your approximation of getting in, what matters most is how well the college aligns with your academic and personal goals. Research Baylor's programs, facilities, student life, etc., to see if it feels like a good fit for you beyond just its acceptance rate.
