Cox Undergrad Chances

2 Upvotes

Do you think I'll get into Cox Early Action with a 3.6W and a 1490 (780 math)? Two APs including Calc AB senior year, which don't factor into my GPA yet. Business internship, sports, leadership, etc., private prep school that does not have a ton of APs. Trying to decide if I need ED for Cox.

SMU or Baylor for quiet spiritual male who’s undecided about major

0 Upvotes

I have twin boys and we have toured SMU & Baylor, and will be touring Vanderbilt and a few others. One twin is going into the ministry and so is probably going to Baylor. The other is undecided but is potentially interested in BioChem. Expresses an interest in research. It bc he’s unsure has also expressed an interest in law (I’m an attorney) But as a parent I can see he’s completely undecided… he’s really analytical, super responsible, really athletic but quiet in large groups. He likes that SMU & Baylor have Christian fraternities & lives that SMU claims to have LOTS of study abroad, study Taos, etc.. & that’s it’s all paid for by the school. He’s really conservative & strong in his faith. Can anyone speak to whether he will find a place at SMU, whether the Christian fraternities accept all or how likely it is to get in (he’s hilarious & fun but is quiet until he’s comfy) .. whether the study abroad etc opportunities are as prolific as they claim and fully funded by the school (hard sell from the school) .. if he’s undecided … will they be as understanding of that as Baylor seems to be? Whether the research opportunities are as prolific as they claim (that was a hard sell from the school) .. whew! I know that’s a lot but we’ve just left & any opinions are welcome.
