There's only one. That's what makes it BYU.

Isnt there 3?

I guess if you want to count them then yes there are 3.

Ha. Not even a little bit.

High 20s and straight A's not good enough. Yeesh, to bad. Bright future.

Man, I would never, ever, in 1,000 lifetimes get in now.

Me neither. And I teach there.

I would have thought the hand-painted six-foot block Y on her bedroom wall would

She can still get in. Send her to UVU for two years, tell her to get straight

cougarnerd

Likely, that's what will happen. It's not the end of all worlds.

Might only take one year. My sis in law did that at BYU-I, she wasn't

My brother did this (only 1 year at UVU) and now he is a doctor

Because that's essentially average for an incoming Freshman. Crazy.

Exactly

Did she take honors and AP classes?

tander123

3/3/17 10:40pm

A couple. She does not have a 4.2 GPA. She isn't a Ute running the 40.

TheDash

3/3/17 10:41pm

Bummer. Hoping for the best in the future. 3/4 of my kids got in. Last one

BYU needs to expand to 40k

AF Cougar

3/3/17 10:40pm

Academic prestige would drop quite a bit. The more people you let in, the less

To tell you the truth, I'm getting tired of that elitist attitude

AF Cougar

They don't have a right to go to BYU. They have lots of other great options.

cougarnerd

3/3/17 11:16pm

She can keep applying. Go to BYU I and transfer. It's a great option

3/3/17 10:45pm

This. I spent an awesome year at BYU-I got good grades and transferred.

Traveshamockery

BYU I is great especially for a freshman year.

She'll be a super star at the Idaho campus. They need people like her to balance

I'm sorry, but...Twitter followers? What possible difference would that make to BYU that he has 30k twitter followers?

Ashtrash

Yes you are missing something. There is a revolution going on with regard to

scvcoug

3/4/17 10:28am

Oh I wasn't criticizing it, I truly didn't see how that would make a difference.

Ashtrash

3/4/17 11:01am

Bwahahahahahahaha.

3/4/17 11:43am

Sounds like a great twitter follow. Does he do lots of jokes and stuff? How do we find him?

The Dude Abides

It will be a huge deal if he eventually applies to grad school or professional

That was me a couple years ago.
