BYU isn't for everyone, but I still don't agree with your logic.

So will going to another school make your kids a different race?

I didn't go to med school, but my MBA program sought out BYU applicants.

I don't think this is true--at least in legal education. Law schools love them

How did you find out which schools accept lots of BYU grads?
