Hey, I was looking into Baylor University's application process but got a bit confused. Does Baylor follow a rolling admissions policy, or is there a concrete deadline approach?
Baylor University does not follow a rolling admissions policy. Instead, they have set deadlines for their applications, and after these deadlines pass, they review all applications and make decisions.
For the 2024-2025 application cycle, Baylor has an Early Decision deadline of November 1, an Early Action deadline of November 1, and a Regular Decision deadline of February 1.
Early Decision is binding, meaning if you are accepted, you agree to enroll at Baylor and withdraw all other college applications. Early Action is not binding and provides you the opportunity to hear back from Baylor earlier than the Regular Decision process.
Each of these deadlines has different notification dates when you would find out your admissions decision. If you apply by the Early Decision deadline, you'll receive your decision by December 15th. If you apply by the Early Action deadline, you'll receive your decision by February 1st. If you apply by the Regular Decision deadline, you'll have your decision by April 10th. So, you can choose the one that best suits your needs and timeline for college admissions.
