Baylor College of Medicine separated from Baylor University decades ago.  Perhaps that's why when you look at rankings other than USNWR National, you might see Baylor in the 600-700 range globally (using ARWU, as an example) while ASU is somewhere between 101 and 150. Times Higher Education is similar (ASU is 156 while Baylor is 601-800.) Same goes for QS (ASU is 179, while Baylor is 1001-1200.)  


I'd like to be competitive in sports, sure. But I don't find it hard to care about fit. I guess I'm a choosy beggar.

baylor med center in dallas is also physically quite separate from baylor u in dallas. about the same distance apart as stanford and uc davis.

Baylor Med might have a building in Dallas, but the medical school itself is primarily based in Houston :)

thanks for the guidance. indeed, i thought the same until i searched google maps for baylor medical center. turns out there is an unrelated "baylor university medical center" in dallas, but baylor college of medicine is, as you say, in houston. i think my main point stands, though: houston is even farther from baylor in waco.
