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

That was the narrative in the media, but it is not a typical "Wall Street" firm like one of the big investment banks. My understanding is that he interned with a regional SLC private equity firm, which is not a large investment bank, what most would consider a "Wall Street" firm. Not taking anything away from Taysom's work experience, but it is a little exaggerated.

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

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

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

whites are a minority on the football teams of most schools
