I got in by divine intervention

If divine intervention = community college, then me too

No, I got in as a freshman out of HS

Southern Cal?

Wowzers, it's 50k/year. I paid way less for medical school...

WorfoSAUR

7/19/18 12:14pm

More than Stanford, more than Harvard Med School, etc.

Gustav

7/19/18 12:19pm

That's about on par for private schools. Gonzaga is the 2nd cheapest WCC school

molodyets

7/19/18 12:19pm

It is definitely expensive, crazy expensive

kimdaddy35

7/19/18 12:16pm

$72k per year! He has to get in first and then we’ll cross that bridge!

I hope you are pushing him to a state school. Because ruining your own

Seriously... for value and high education in CA you can't beat Cal Poly.

Good for you. Great school. When BYU called to ask for a donation from me

Same with me. I’ve heard from an inside source that there has been intense neg

Glad to hear about the feedback. We need to raise our voices.

Being an RM increases his chances dramstically

Bonoman

When we have kids not getting in with stats like that then we need to expand

DazeofBlue

7/19/18 12:19pm

Absolutely, we need to expand

2FarGone

7/19/18 12:21pm

Agree. BYU won't ever get the prestigious anyway. So expand already.

His son is well above average for ACT/GPA. He should have been an autoadmit

byuwahoo

7/19/18 12:24pm

Theres something you arent telling us. Did your son not complete seminary or something? Those are well within

monkeycowboy

7/19/18 12:29pm

kotacoug

7/19/18 12:33pm

You mean an upper limit?

2FarGone

I might be okay with this. We gotta weed out the larping tunnel singing folk somehow

Amen! Preach on brotha!

There are quite a few with those numbers that didn't get in this year. Welcome
