About admissions at Baylor University

Baylor University accepts about 51.3% of applicants. Applicants with a reasonable profile have good odds, though a sharp application still improves your chances.

Admitted students typically score between 1200 and 1400 on the SAT, or 27–32 on the ACT. Falling below that range doesn’t disqualify you — it means the rest of your application needs to carry more weight.

The number that actually matters isn’t this school’s average — it’s how your specific application measures up. That’s what IvyscoreAI tells you.
