At some point you have to apply to a major. It doesn't have to be at the time

Well yeah of course you have to apply to a major. But you can’t apply to certain

Wow.. 95% of accounting applicants were admitted? That's crazy high to me.

Yeah I thought it was much lower… although my wife who is a nurse clearly

Could be a factor of those who didn't get the grades on the prereqs didn't apply

Even if they don’t, be smart about it. My brother played the oboe, so he admitted to BYU as a music major

It's easier in general to just transfer to BYU then to get in as a freshman

*it's easy, in general, to get into BYU as a Freshman. (70% acceptance rate)

Yes, but most people don't apply if they don't have top credentials.

BYU admitting students with GPAs below 3.0? Are you positive? What years was

Kid from my ward got in with 3.1 GPA - wants to be a music teacher.

Sad... BYU should be a meritocracy.

Especially since the design program only admits like 10 students.
