Baylor Class of 2017 (2013-2014 cycle) Forum

Bump for any new info. I was admitted a few days ago with some $. Certainly considering attending now.

I've started scholarship negotiation. Will update once I hear something.

Accepted with $15k per year. I must admit, I was expecting more. 165/3.65. I don't think I'll be accepting the offer, but I wish they had given me more for leverage.

Same with a 168. Hint: you can negotiate.

For y'all who got scholarships, what do your stips look like? Mine is that I need to maintain a 2.75, which seems totally reasonable, but when they said where that would put me in the class, the percentages seemed really high, like the top 75-85th percentile. With baylors reputation as a competitive cutthroat school, doesn't that seem really high? What is the likely hood of actually keeping that?

I think you might be looking at it, well, the other way around. It's not percentile, it's just percent. So, they don't mean you have to be in the top 15-25%. They mean you'll lose it if you're in the bottom 15-25%.

If the percentage is top 85%, that means you can't be in the bottom 15%. I'd say that's a pretty reasonable stip...

Yeah, I think he thought he had to be in the "85th percentile"
Which would be be unreasonable lol, but that's not what it is

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to negotiate with Baylor for more $$? I got in with a decent sized scholarship but even a slight bump would make it a much more viable option.

I'm in the process currently. Will get back to you when I have more info and how it works.

[johnclark21]

Duh. Ok cool thanks for pointing me in the right direction, haha. Makes much more sense.

[abrahm]

Thank you! It would be very much appreciated. Their offer is already very generous so I'm trying to figure out the best way to ask for a bit more.

[jts723]

I used W&L

[texasmuppet]

Got in today without $, but considering that I applied with 157 and 3.47, I just wanted to see if I would get in. I'm much more hung up on getting into Houston, since I have in-state already.

[klondike5]

In today via mail 24k a year for all three so 72k total. Applied 1/21 complete the same day. My numbers are in my profile.

I don't have the list of dinners which was included in my admissions packet, so could someone do me a favor and tell me how we are supposed to RSVP for the dinner? Is there an email or phone number we contact?

Thank you
