    About

    Pre-medicine is a program rather than a specific major.  The Pre-med program requires specific courses students must complete to apply for medical school, but it does give students the flexibility to pursue any major.  Medical schools select students with majors in both non-science and science disciplines.  Regardless of major, it is vital for students to succeed in their academics.  Students also must develop strong qualities of leadership, interpersonal skills, ethics, and service. 

    The pre-medicine program offers several services in order to prepare students for the often rigorous journey in becoming a doctor, including advising, the opportunity to attend professional workshops, research opportunities and student organizations.

    To help students prepare for medical school, Baylor created the Pre-med/Pre-dent Advisory Committee. The Committee interviews and evaluates applicants for professional school.  They also work with many medical and dental schools to garner valuable information for Baylor students.  The Committee prepares composite evaluations that include a plot of chronological grade progression and teacher and committee ratings, which are based on a variety of personal and academic characteristics.  The committee reviews comments based on the interview, personal knowledge and application materials. Their comprehensive evaluations are often an important component of the student's application. Students must complete the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) for medical school consideration. 

    Alpha Epsilon Delta is a student-led organization for those interested in Pre-Health Care programs. AED offers opportunities for intellectual and professional development. It provides a forum for students with common interests. It also extends a program of service to benefit both the Waco and the Baylor communities.  

    Baylor offers several Living-Learning Centers which are housing opportunities designed to place students of common interests together.  The Science & Health Living-Learning Center is a residential option that's available for pre-health students depending on their major. Students are able to collaborate with each other, science faculty and medical researchers.

    Requirements

    Entry Requirements

    We accept high school transcripts in these two ways:

    • OFFICIAL: Official transcripts can be mailed from your high school in a sealed and signed envelope or sent digitally through a secure electronic source (Slate.org, Parchment, CommonApp, or TRex). Your high school counselor can also email a high school transcript and it will be considered official if submitted from a school email address as verification.
    • UNOFFICIAL: Unofficial transcripts are sufficient to complete your application file, however, please note that final enrollment at Baylor is contingent upon receipt of an official transcript. If you would like to submit an unofficial transcript to complete your application file, simply upload a scanned copy in your goBAYLOR account or email [email protected] and include as an attachment.
    • Transcripts or mark sheets must include: years of enrollment, course titles and all marks earned for each course for 6 semesters. If your school's education system only has three years of secondary school, please have the previous year submitted as well.
    • Transcripts should be submitted in the original language and accompanied by an official literal English translation.
    • Although original documents are preferred, certified photocopies are acceptable when a signature and the stamp from the school or government official is included. Copies received through fax or email are not considered official. Students can self submit transcripts as long as they are in official, sealed envelopes from their secondary school.
    • Applicants from schools with external exams or leaving certificates should have their exams or certificates submitted to Baylor directly from the testing agency (IGCSE, GCE, WAEC, CBSE, IB, etc.). If you are unsure about which transcripts or exams are required for your country's education system, see our Required Secondary School Credentials by Country page.
    • If you have not yet taken your examination, your admission may be contingent upon our receipt of your exam results.
    • If using outside credential evaluators, Baylor will only accept evaluations from Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE) or World Education Services (WES). If you choose to use one of these services, Baylor requires copies of the original transcripts to accompany the evaluation. Each transcript is reviewed on an individual basis and should be verified by contacting [email protected]

    Regardless of your application choice, you must create a goBAYLOR account to track your application status. 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.
