Our son did his part to bring that down.

My next son submits his this fall with under a 3.6 unweighted..hope it is enough

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

30

Fdnman

He's probably good. In Utah or outside?

Virginia...no one from our high school has made it the past 5 years

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

extra-curriculars play a big role

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

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

But school was harder when I went

Veracruz

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

db59840

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

There is some truth to that. Grades have

gwalker

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

I also didn't have to do 6 hours of homework a night like my daughter does

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

LaserCoug

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

db59840

8/28/15 11:50am

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

LaserCoug

8/28/15 11:51am

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

BYU Admissions has it at 3.84 for 2015... [link]

4.0 if you exclude the athletes.

AndyDwyer

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

AF Cougar

My daughter had a 4.0 and didn't get accepted. She was crushed. Been waiting

Are you in Utah or one of the other prominent western states? I've heard of some

Utah

Have her get an AA and transfer

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

AF Cougar

8/29/15 5:01pm

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

Harrison0Yfan

8/29/15 7:04pm

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

I feel like the research wouldn't be too hard to work around as professors and
