You may have searched for ApplyTexas or tried to find Baylor University on the ApplyTexas portal, but we’re not listed there. That’s because Baylor uses the Common App and our own Baylor Application instead. The good news? Applying the Baylor way is easier, faster, and comes with real benefits you don’t want to miss.

Apply to Baylor Without ApplyTexas and with No Application Fee

Baylor University is not part of the ApplyTexas system. Instead, you can apply using:

• The Common App
• The Baylor Online Application

Both are always free, straightforward, and designed to get you your admissions decision (and scholarship information) sooner.
