3.8 or better is what I was told
from their admissions office when asking for one of my UVU concurrent enrollment students.

I have personally signed deny letters to multiple 36 ACT kids this past month.

Why would a 36 ACT be turned down?

All kinds of reasons this could happen. Not all 39 MCATs get accepted to

No school in their right mind would give a "reason" for not admitting a student

It's because he likes sports. BYU students don't like sports - just books.

Sounds like an awesome kid! I am really suprised he wouldn't get in.

Absolutely terrific kid. He's pretty discouraged.

encourage him not to give up on BYU. I did and it is my biggest regret.

is he white and from Utah was the obvious next question

He's also not an Eagle Scout. Apparently, 85% of male freshmen are Eagles.

go to UVU for 2 years and get a good GPA and transfer

Not likely. My son was admitted last year with a 3.34 GPA and no eagle scout

Tell him to sneak into BYU through the back door...

I think that's the route we'll go. He'll tear it up no matter where he attends.

Or go to BYU Salt Lake Center

Last time he snuck into a school through the back door he got arrested.

My son heard that this is the highest % rejection ever for BYU

BYU knows this, but in a lot of schools, a 3.65 probably ranks them only top 25
