I’m an alum of Baylor and I too have watched with dismay how “Baylor 2012″ has changed the face of the school I loved. I’ve been very vocal about the rush to become a research institution at the expense of the teaching, which had long been a standard at Baylor. Baylor has had 20,000 or more freshmen applications each year for the past several years (for only 3,000 or so slots) — and they can’t find high enough scores among those? It’s one thing for a student to want to retake the SAT in order to raise their scores – I did it when in high school – but to pay them is so obscene. Baylor, wise up. You’ve become something you were never meant to be.
