rachiehayes Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 @aneshi Yes! Mention it! Because I think they ask a question about healthcare experience right? Either way, employment is listed on CASPA. List all extra-curricular activities like organizations, clubs, community service, leadership positions, sports, whatever makes you stand out as an applicant. And badminton & dance are very cool!

Patricie Stephens Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Hello everyone! I submitted my CASPA and secondary application in late July, still waiting on hopeful interview invite. I saw that they don't start interviewing till January so hopefully we'll hear something in December... so patiently we all wait. All the best to everyone!

Aneshi Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 To all those who have applied in Baylor Health, would you mind sharing your (Verbal part) Gre score? The requirement is 153... Do we really need to have 153 and above in it to get an interview?? I would really appreciate your candid response. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miss23 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I got a 152 but was well over the quant requirement and combined still scored over 300 so I called admissions to see if that was a screening factor and she said to still apply because that wasn't the end all be all but rather a guide to how competitive your scores are.

Aneshi Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Hey thanks miss23.. I have less than 153 on verbal but over all 306..I am not sure if I should repeat it..Very confused.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacqnguyen Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Hey thanks miss23.. I have less than 153 on verbal but over all 306..I am not sure if I should repeat it..Very confused.. I spoke to a lady with admissions a while back and was told the total GRE score just needs to be over 297 (153+144). Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aneshi Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 So we need to have total gre score above 297 or individually as required??? I have emailed them two days back and still waiting.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bstoker Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I got a 153 verbal, 158 quant, and a 5.0 on the writing. I'm just hoping that being on the low end of the requirement for the verbal isn't going to affect my chances of getting an interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topsy Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 For verbal I got a 155 the first time, and 157 a month later.I don't know the indepth details of the base line score needed for Baylor's program, but if I were you, I'd look at my score with a critical eye and some perspective:a) if I didn't meet the specific category requirement, did I at least achieve the overall requirement??? and if I managed the latter, am I satisfied with that? (for instance, perhaps I got a 151 on verbal, but my quantitative score was in the 90+, and when added together, the overall requirement was met. am I happy with that? or unsettled by the uneven results?)b) how is the rest of my application? would I need a higher GRE score to counter-balance the fact that my HCE/GPA/LOR are somewhat lacking?? or is the rest of my application so stellar that a GRE score is more like a formality than a true test of qualification? c) if I do decide to take it again, knowing myself and my study habits, could I do better? do I want to show the programs that I am applying to that I can achieve the bare minimum? or do I want to show them that the bare minimum wasn't good enough for me, and that I can do better.I went through all these questions after I took the GRE for the first time; my math score was abysmal, but my writing score was 93. My #1 program said that the minimum was overall 300, but the average was 308. After much thought and feedback from others, I took it again. I wanted to show the program that squeaking by with a 301 wasn't good enough for me when I knew I could do better. So 1 month later. I boosted my score to meet that 308 average (cuz I actually studied this time!), but my writing score went down from a 5 to a 4. Despite that, I feel more confident that my application is the slightest bit more competitive. Because what I figured (and what others had conveyed to me) was do I want to show the admissions committees that I am apply knowing I just did the bare minimum, or do I want to apply showing that I personally strive for excellence. To all those who have applied in Baylor Health, would you mind sharing your (Verbal part) Gre score? The requirement is 153... Do we really need to have 153 and above in it to get an interview?? I would really appreciate your candid response. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bstoker Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Does anyone know if they look at trends in your grades/transcripts, or do they just look at the final cumulative GPA. The reason I ask is because my first two semesters in college about nine years ago were pretty bad for a number of reasons. I then joined the Marines, and for the past four years after getting out I have only received about four Bs, everything else has been As. My GPA is still decent, I guess I'm just hoping they notice the improvement in my overall ability as a student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacqnguyen Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 FYI- from Ms. Adams with admissions: Interviews are not scheduled until the January 2015. Invites for interviews should go out by the second week in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sesame24 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I know that Baylor is a very high-level and prestigious school. What are the stats of the people that apply here? I have a 3.8 cumulative GPA & 302 cumulative GRE score and 3500 healthcare hours. Do I have a chance of getting an interview here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
