Can I get in with a 21.. I have a 3.0 and i am in the top quartertile.. I am also hispanic and a Baptist

I balled out in the classroom. Dont go if you get in. Save your parents money for them and be a Christian in normal settings. An institution like Baylor shows you whats wrong with Christianity. (Unfortunately)

The standards are not very high, but don't expect the classes to be easy. Many people fail themselves out or transfer because they find it way too hard, and most of freshman come in as pre-med and drop it after the first semester. However, it does give an opportunity to give students like me (who only had 2 years of high school in the US and therefore not a long list of extracurriculars, volunteering, and was not valedictorian) to prove ourselves. I have a 3.7 right now, and I know many people who were valedictorians and class presidents who suddenly find themselves facing scholarship probation because they can't make more than a 3.0. In other words, high school transcripts and SAT scores do not always reflect how a student will perform in college, so it's nice to have that opportunity. At the end, only the strong will remain. Baylor gives that opportunity, if you think you can make it, apply, and you might get in.
In conclusion:
GETTING IN MIGHT BE EASY, BUT STAYING IN IS NOT.

I transferred in with a 3.0 and kept it that way. For high school students, make a 1180 or above and stay in the top quarter to have an upper hand and a pretty good chance. Those qualifications are mainly what baylor is made of with a few exceptions on the high (genious) and low (how did that person get in?) end.

Easy unless you're really really dumb.

take the SAT seriously and have lots of money or scholarships! be sure and get involved in many extra curricular activities during high school; particularly community service
Business - Management and Administration
Get a good SAT or ACT, good grades, the usual. When filling out the essay questions, insert something about how being Baptist has made you a better person and you're a shoo-in.

It's easy to get in, but they keep raising tuition, so keep your highschool grades high to get a good academic scholarship.

Assuming you want to go, a few things to help you get in include:
1. They essay should be used for one thing: praising Christianity. Baylor will accept nearly any student that they believe is a good, pure, Christian. Although Baylor has genuine academic standards, they believe in giving everyone a chance, and letting grades sort out who should stay and who should not.
2. Letters of recommendation. As a private university, Baylor is truly open to much more than SAT's and GPA's. Recommendations from ministers, teachers, etc. can make a big difference for borderline students.
3. Find out which programs have not met enrollement expectations the year before, and mark them as your intended major. This will have no effect on you once you enroll, but if you declare intent to major in a subject that is lacking in students, it might make the difference if you are not guaranteed admission.

Grades and test scores are always important, but extra-curricular activities throughout high school are also a major plus. I talked about my experiences in youth groups and focused my essay on what I wanted to get out of Baylor. As long as you are true and open about yourself and what you want, I think you will have a great shot at getting in.
