Major
I would like to major in Psychology or Nursing. The average yearly income for a psychologist is $62k. The average for a neonatal nurse(which is my nursing category interest) is $60k. The reason I would like to attend Baylor above any other school is because Baylor has an excellent reputation, some of my family friends have attended, and especially because Baylor is mainly a medical school.
When is the deadline for applying for financial aid?
You MUST apply by March 1st, but preferably in January. Baylor accepts students out of high school with GPA range of 3.1-3.6 on a 4.0 scale. It is best to have a ACT score of 29 or higher, and a SAT score of 1970 or higher.
