You're going to do great! Your review committee wants you to succeed :) Sounds like you have a great plan in place - and trust me when I say you will be a LOT more prepared than most USchols. Let me know if you have any questions!

@@sophiecope4170 Hi!!! i have finished reviewing and making one-page summaries and with one week left I'm starting to review all of them together, trying to make more practice-like reviews. One thing I'm doing that I've been advised to do by multiple older students is making a sort of graphic-organizer poster to write in connections between all of the books. Is there any other advice you have in this final stage to help me feel most prepared in terms of feeling ready to answer deeper/harder questions (and not just pragmatic knowledge of my books)??? another BIG question I have is what are the questions like? Are they more specific to the books (ex: tell me about how machiavelli views morality in "the prince"), more broad and general (ex: which book did you enjoy reading the most and why) or is it kind of a mix of both? if you could give me some examples of questions you were asked that would be extremely helpful!!!!! i've looked over the guidelines on the UNSC website about what you should know to be prepared but its really eating me up that i can't picture what the actual questions will be like. I hope all of that makes sense, sorry it is a little rambly! I'm studying abroad this semester and don't leave for another two weeks so I'm not back in waco, but all of my friends and my senior student on my panel are just starting classes and are super busy so I appreciate your insight! thank you so much for making this video and answering questions, as you know there aren't a lot of resources.

Good question! When it comes to coursework, there are two classes (Christian Scriptures and Christian Heritage) that you will have to take to complete your degree. They are taught from a historical perspective and are not "preachy." All students also have to participate in Chapel, which happens a few times a week. These typically feature a lecture/motivational type speech (and to be completely honest, no one really pays attention!) Even the Christian students just grit their teeth and push through it. So while there will be more Christian students at Baylor then your average state school, you will not be excluded for not being a Christian and you will not miss out on university culture! There is so much more to Baylor than its religious affiliation and the student body brings in many valuable and critical perspectives. I hope this helps!

Good question! The Honors Program is really what you make of it - you'll have to take a few lower-level Honors classes, but you can also do book/film club to pass those requirements. You will have to complete a thesis in the HP, which can be pretty time-consuming in your junior and senior years. The BIC replaces some of your core classes, but the replaced classes definitely emphasize reading/writing more than the regular core classes would (and thus take more time). USchol is like the HP in that you have to do a thesis, but it gives you more flexibility in your coursework. You really have to know what you want to do in USchol because there is not a "guideline" or degree plan to follow, so it's not for everyone. All things considered, I think the Honors Program is a great bet for everyone because it can be combined with any major and still allows you to have the support of a traditional major's degree plan. Let me know if you have any other questions! Always happy to help :)

BIC replaces many of your core classes with BIC classes. BIC classes emphasize reading and writing more and are (in my opinion) more rigorous than regular core classes. If you are up for the challenge and enjoy the humanities, BIC can definitely help you stand out on med school apps. If you don't like reading and writing, then I would advise the Honors Program instead :)

Great question! I was on a full scholarship from merit/honors college/other Baylor scholarships by the time I graduated. The sticker price is high, but the scholarships are quite generous. For cost-benefit analysis, I think it depends on what you want to do what you want to get out of the experience. Baylor is a great place for pre-med, business, and Honors, and I especially enjoyed the Honors College housing/academic environment - for me, that combo makes it 100% worth it. Keeping your big-picture career goals in mind can be helpful when making these choices too (how Baylor can help prepare you for this field, networking, clubs, etc. geared towards this goal.) Let me know if you have any questions! :)

@@sophiecope4170 oh awesome! Does honors college offer more in scholarships or anything like that? I'm going for Social Work and would be a transfer student next year but the cost is most definitely up there. I'm actually on my way for a visit as we speak, any advice for good questions to ask or bring up? Thanks!!

@@elliebowman706 Great questions! The HC does offer its own scholarships and there are also departmental scholarships available within your major. You'll be able to apply for them once you are an enrolled student. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Yes of course! Let me know what questions you have :)

Thank you so much! No way you are still around! I actually just was accepted into the program and decided to do it! 🎉 I'm super excited. I am thinking of two really heavy concentrations right now, one as a secondary major in music, but almost every semester is a full load (18 credits) if I go that path. I'm just curious how many credits you took/are taking and what you suggest!@@sophiecope4170

how did u do

I really enjoyed having a 2 year commitment! Otherwise you have to start finding off-campus housing a few weeks/months after you're just starting to get to know people... I really enjoyed the stability and community! Let me know if you have any other questions :)

Because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is lord & believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved

hi! im a senior, and after endless praying i just found out i got accepted to baylor :) i hope this serves as hope for u, if i can do it so can u!

@@kasiadudek1781got accepted as into but waiting for aid😂

Great questions! To my knowledge, there aren't any specific requirements for applying because Baylor has recently gone test-optional. Let me know if I can help in any other way! :)

I'm studying English Lit and Chinese! Aww thank you so much <3

Great question! To my knowledge, all Baylor students are required to take the religion classes - the only way to get around it is to participate in the Baylor Interdisciplinary Core (BIC), which has a more international/diverse perspective. However, do NOT just take BIC to avoid the religion classes, because a) there is a lot of additional coursework and b) if you switch out of BIC you'll just have to take the required religion classes anyways. The religion classes are taught from a historical/academic perspective, so they're not preachy. Let me know if you have any other questions about them! Basically, the HC is a combination of four majors and programs that provide more academic rigor than your regular Baylor classes. They're each very different so I recommend looking into them individually.

University Hall! Let me know if you have any questions about it :)

Glad it was helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions :)

Congratulations and sic 'em! Studying abroad at a (predominantly white) university in the UK this semester has made me appreciate Baylor's diversity all the more. This especially shines when it comes to multicultural clubs and organizations, as well as local foodie culture! I'd recommend checking out Baylor's multicultural organizations on Connect (baylor.campuslabs.com/engage/), which lists most active clubs and orgs. There are also specific clubs to help international students get connected. Let me know if you'd ever like to grab coffee or something when you come to campus! :)

@@sophiecope4170 thanks so much sophie for the info! and yeah i would love to hang out when i get there :))

Hei....I want to know more about ACT? I have no idea what it is? Is it a kind of syllabus?

@@chinmayeesaikia6507 no its a test. if you watched the video it would explain to you

@@Gold-- thanks a lot....wanna know one more thing...so for this test is there any syllabus or we have to read the science textbook from..like grade 7 to grade 10? (Sorry for my English)(I am talking about only science portion)

@@chinmayeesaikia6507 ok so, there is no books you have to read. there is text in the science section- it is a lot like comprehension. But- the ACT is more Math and Science based meaning that if those are your strengths I do suggest to take it.
