STEP 2: CHOOSE YOUR APPLICATION METHOD
We prefer applicants apply through the Baylor Online App or Common App and do not prioritize one over the other. While we do accept applications via ApplyTexas, most applicants apply through the Baylor Online App or Common App.
To apply using the Baylor Online Application, you start by creating a goBAYLOR account. If you apply with Common App or ApplyTexas, you will get an email to create your goBaylor account through a specific link after you submit your application. Please allow 24-48 hours to process. Regardless of your application choice, your goBAYLOR account will be important for tracking your application status and any next steps you might have. This is where we will communicate what is needed to complete your application file and additional enrollment steps for accepted students.
PRO TIP: Whatever email address you apply with will be used to communicate important information throughout the application cycle and in the summer after you graduate. We recommend using a personal, non-school-affiliated email address that you will check often and use long-term.
STEP 3: REVIEW THE APPLICATION CHECKLIST
Your goBAYLOR account will show you exactly which items we have received and what is needed to complete your file by the deadline. Here are the documents that will be included on your checklist:
STEP 4: SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION MATERIALS
