Admissions

Be involved, UMHB likes to see students who are involved, and who will be involved in the Crusader community. What helped me, was I attended a small Christian high school, so I had letters of recommendation from my Principal and Assistant Principal, and the Religious Brothers from my school. Letters of recommendation from a Pastor a Priest will help, but also letters from people who see what you are involved in.

Don't wait...visit UMHB now! I wanted to enjoy my senior year and not worry about where I was going to go to college so I did my research and visited several colleges and I made my decision in January that UMHB was the place for me.

Don't just take a tour (Although that's a good first step.) Attend a Preview weekend or have a conversation with some of the students here. That's the real measure of a college. You can see people going about their lives on campus, but it isn't until you talk to one of them that you know whether or not you can see yourself here. If you do attend, get involved. The people here want to know you, but if you spend all year like a hermit in your room you do yourself an injustice. You miss out on all the memories and friends you'll make. Who knows you could meet your best friend here, or your future roommate. Just give people a chance cause they want to give you one.

Start looking at the school right away. Get your application filled out and get your SAT and ACT taken car of. Get to know your admission councilor as well visit campus. Go to Sader day and Cru camp and just have fun.

Get involved! There are so many opportunities that everyone should take advantage of.

umhb is a great university to grow and learn. it is a private university that is faith-based in every aspect of the school. the teachers and students are extremely friendly and make you feel at home within the first week of coming to the university. i would suggest being financially prepared before coming here so you can focus on your studies instead of where the money will come from. the university is tough and you will spend many hours and long nights in the library but it is all worth it.

Work hard in high school. Apply for scholarships and school early. Get involved as soon as you get in.

I would advise you prospective students to come to one of the Preview Weekends! You get to stay in a dorm with a current freshman so you really get to experience the things that you would experience in your first semester at UMHB. I would also encourage you to try to visit during a game weekend for football or other sports so you can experience the school spirit. Ask your admissions counselors lots of questions! They will answer anything and everything to make sure that you are able to make the best decision possible.

If you're on the edge about coming here, just say yes already! If you think Mary Hardin-Baylor is some uptight, Baptist school, you're wrong. There has been so much stuff to do here that I can hardly keep up with all the activities. If you miss an activity, there are more to follow, trust me.

Take a tour of the campus! When I went to take a tour, that was when I fell in love with the campus. Make sure, if you are transferring in credits, that your credits will actually go towards your intended major and that the university will accept them.
