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.

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.

TheDash

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

Is this a mistake? How in the world do those credentials not get you in

idacoug

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

Did she take honors and AP classes?

tander123

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

TheDash

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

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

BYU I is great especially for a freshman year.

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

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
