Predicted ACT scores for Baylor?

Quick question - does anyone know what the average or generally acceptable ACT scores are for incoming freshmen at Baylor? I'm also curious to know how much weight Baylor places on these scores in deciding admissions.

Baylor University generally has an average ACT composite score for its admitted students between 25 and 31. This range represents the middle 50% of scores, meaning that 25% of admitted students scored below this range and 25% scored above. However, remember that standardized test scores are only one piece of the puzzle and Baylor considers other factors beyond test scores, such as your high school academic performance, rigor of course load, extracurricular activities, and your essays.

In terms of weightage, while Baylor does not publicly disclose the specific weight they give standardized test scores, like many universities, they employ a holistic review process. This means that while your ACT score is important, Baylor also placed a significant importance on the totality of your application which includes your academic record, extracurricular involvement, and essays are considered alongside your scores. They'll look at your achievements in the context of opportunities available to you and within the context of your personal circumstances.

As of the 2024-2025 application cycle, Baylor is test-optional, which means you can choose whether or not to submit your ACT scores. If you're confident in your scores and believe they're a good reflection of your academic ability, you can choose to submit them. Otherwise, you can opt out and rely on other components of your application to showcase your strengths. So, if you do well on the ACT and score within or above Baylor's typical range, it could potentially boost your application.
