It is funny how people think that a top 10 school will waive its admission

2/10/16 10:17am

Can BYU veto any of his options? It is not unusual for a school to deny a

Michigan already has waived the requirement

BYU frequently waives taking the GMAT if you have work exp. and a good sponsor.

Unlike UVA, mich, and Stanford?

Color me skeptical that the football coaches wouldn't make sure he was accepted

2/10/16 12:05am

Getting accepted to "a program" is very different than the MBA program at most

jholling

2/10/16 12:06am

TH would be worth literally $1M in revenue, no MBA dean would turn him down

2/10/16 12:18am

Yep! Exactly! I am pretty sure any business school that has a football team

calvindyer

2/10/16 12:31am

My uncle is the dean of the business school

tcherrin

2/10/16 7:26am

The MBA program only accepts two students every year? That doesn't seem

Huh? They have to take more than 2 kids per year

To be fair his uncle may be over the PhD program

califcougar

I thought about asking if he was talking about PhD.

She resigned/was forced out

You're right - I guess I shouldn't post when I'm not fully awake yet

Seems to make sense. Why clueless?

ToasterChive

2/10/16 12:16am

Then why did you post it?

travelcoug

2/10/16 12:17am

Because it makes a little man feel big....thank you internets for giving courage

The fact that he interned at a Wall Street firm tells us that his grades are

I wonder how they would know

2/10/16 9:04am

I should clarify - my friend was referring to exam scores on midterms/finals

BYUHouston11

2/10/16 11:32am

It is a little generous to say Taysom interned with a Wall Street firm.

Nat Gas Man

I like your little disclaimer and I know why you made it

Richard is black - makes a big difference.

HarlemCoug

2/10/16 7:57am

whites are a minority on the football teams of most schools

Nat Gas Man

2/10/16 7:58am

Which is irrelevant because they have been the beneficiaries of white priviledge

srey

2/10/16 8:03am

but football teams don't have a diversity agenda like Stanford Business School

What evidence do you have that being black

I Believe Stanford already said no. No work experience is the killer

Not top schools. Stanford said no

travelcoug

Northwestern accepts it

Hang10

2/10/16 10:27am

My understanding is that he has already decided he would like to return to BYU.
