Yep. Even 10 years ago, school was pretty easy. Can't imagine it's gotten harder

How's his ACT? He may need a 30 or above to get in. Might get in with a 28/29

He's probably good. In Utah or outside?

If your son did any extra-curriculars and doesn't botch the application, I'd bet

BYU's admissions re-weights based on the school the kids attend.

Good Golly....I had a 3.4 with virtually no extracurricular accomplishments.

depends on the state. Not all states or even schools are remotely equal

There is some truth to that. Grades have

When I was in high school there were no + or - grades, and an A was 94%+

3.3 back in the 80's and I got a full tuition scholarship

With that ACT? You'd probably still get in.

Maybe. But supposedly they use unweighted GPA as the first filter
LaserCoug

I doubt the the GPA filter is set at 3.3, probably closer to 3.0.

4.0 if you exclude the athletes.

My daughter has a 4.0. I hope that is still good enough in two more years

I really wish BYU would expand to 45,000 students.

That would be a nightmare on a small campus like BYU's though

They could easily do it if they went to a true tri-mester setup like BYU-I
