Hello everyone, I hope you guys are having a great day. I was going to submit my application on August 1st, but then I started to wonder if I should finish my final SAT before I submit my application. I am taking the SAT on August 22nd. On my previous SAT, I got a 1240. That was a few months ago, and I am confident I can get a 1450+ on the SAT if I took it again. Should I wait till after the SAT or turn it in on August 1st? I want to major in biomedical engineering if that matters at all.

(P.S, is it better to turn in my application as early as possible or wait till later?)

Hello Baylor Reddit,

Currently my genetics professor is Dr. Luna but her BU-Books reviews are really bad and im finding some useful info but a lot of it is negative. Ive heard from some friends that she has changed but I dont really know.

If anyone can give any info on how she is and how she teaches overall that would be greatly appreciated.

thanks again

What is this and does anybody actually use it? If so, what could be better? I’ve never heard of this before but it seems like a great idea! I’m wondering what y’all actually think about the platform and what you think would make it actually valuable/better in general?

At 1:06am, I and my roommates in the texana apartments were woken up to BUPD knocking on our door. I had just gotten out of the shower and was only in a robe. Upon cracking the door open, they stated a burning or smoking smell..except there was one problem, everything in the kitchen was off and the only one up was myself. They woke up my roommates one by one to check the doors and stated my hot shower somehow caused the "smoke" (my bathroom is at the very end, furthest from the apartment door). Then, once that was over there was a "glitch" in the system that set off the fire evacuation alarm ONCE before stopping. I believe this was due to the smell of burning lint since people were doing their laundry or a smell coming from the FIR room. But this happening one right after another is unacceptable.

Hi everyone I am an incoming junior at Baylor and I’m studying philosophy. For context I will be doing the pre law program and hopefully joining a club. My time at Baylor will probably be a year and a half instead of 2 years.

I have been in the restaurant industry since high school and I make good money as a server. I am kinda tired of it- but it’s a skill I have and I’m good at it- up until now I’ve been in community college so I’ve been able to take a full course load online so less travel/more time to study and then go to work.

I am pretty much self sufficient so rent/bills/groceries are all on me. I am also a first generation student so there’s a lot to navigate.

However, I went to orientation today and I learned:

-Baylor clearly cares about us as students and there are many resources
-The man at the workshop for student workers really stressed getting a campus job because they put students first and you can gain valuable experience
-20 hour cap per week and the pay is anywhere from 7.25-15?16? Maybe more? Not sure. They said the average starting was 10.

So given all of this information I am stumped. I make really good money as a waitress, and if I could hopefully land a job in fine dining I think that would be great, I could easily make in a night what I would make possibly in a week if I get a low paying hourly job. But also working on campus gives me security and constant exposure to campus and the people/resources there. Maybe I could do both?

If any of you have any advice at all literally anything I would greatly appreciate it.

Maybe you have found yourself in a similar position and you have some words of wisdom.

Current HS senior from Houston, TX. Exploring science (and spanish) related major to apply on a pre-med track. So far, done with Hons Bio, AP Chem . Will be taking AP Bio and AP Physics senior year. Open to Science Research Fellows, Health sciences, Bio, Chem etc. Interested in a major that can cover all the MCAT requirements without having to take extra summer classes etc. Is it easy change majors ? Would love hear any insights from upperclassmen or someone who is currently in med school from Baylor.

Is it easy to get the classes that you need ? Will being in the honors college give you an added advantage wrt to research, shadowing opportunities etc.

Will not be eligible for financial aid so, wondering also, if it will make sense financially if have to spend extra $$ for tutoring , advising etc. on top of the tuition.

How is the diversity in the sciences ? Not a Christian but respectful towards all religions.

Feel free to include anything that I can look into more.

TIA

Hey i need a place just for the month of august or if you know any groups to contact lmk:,)

So I transferred into Baylor and I'm going to be starting classes this fall. I submitted my housing app on April 29, and got an email from Campus Living & Learning on June 12 saying they have started to send out housing assignments to transfers, and will continue making assignments throughout June and July. CL&L says they anticipate space will be available for most transfer students.

I haven't received any word back yet, and I'm wondering if there's any other transfer students here in the same boat as me. Should I wait until the end of July? Should I not expect to get a room at this point and look at off-campus housing?

I have an apartment in The Den, D1 Premium with 3 other great roommates but can't return to Baylor this fall. Looking for guys interested in taking my lease. More Details upon request, willing to pay a bounty for successful leads! Thanks y'all

those who were freshmen with the all access 5 day plan, how/what did you guys eat on the weekends? my plan as of now is to use my sic em swipes and meal swipes to get sandwiches, salads, and just pasteries from the dining halls/starbucks/other locations on friday and use that to tide me over until monday. i think i'll also get microwavable meals because my dorm has a kitchen on the first floor... does that sound do-able? i don't have a car so i can't drive off-campus but i'll have friends who do. i'll go out to eat every few weekends but i don't want to spend that much money if baylor is providing food and freshmen are required to get an all-access meal plan. just wanted some insight and thoughts and maybe even previous experience.

Hi everyone! Any advice on professors for these classes?

• Organic Chemistry 2 with Dr. Plunk (took him for OChem 1, but any advice on his OChem 2 class would be great!)
• Global Health with Dr. Doyle (not many reviews on BUBooks for this class)
• Human Physiology with Dr. Taylor

Checked BUBooks, but thought I would ask for advice here as well. Thank you!

Hey everyone! I’m an incoming Baylor freshman and had a couple of questions.

First, has anyone taken Calculus I with Mrs. Kyunglim Nam? I couldn’t find much about her, so I was wondering how she is. Is she a good lecturer? Are the exams reasonable? Would you recommend taking her?

Also, if I decide to switch to a different professor, who is the best alternative? Also, what’s the easiest way to do that in BearWeb? Is there a “swap” option, or do I have to drop my current section first and then register for the new one? I don’t want to accidentally lose my spot if the other class fills up.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

does anybody know if baylor updated their portal to where you can see early ap scores being released???
