There are other factors you aren't mentioning, because that ACT score is seriously low for BYU

All domestic candidates are treated equally. 30 years ago it was different. But the myth lives on.

The myth lives on because BYU puts out the information that students that live

No, it is what they said at a BeSmart admissions fireside.

That's also a myth. I worked in admissions. The standards are identical no matter where you live in the U.S.

Basically everyone that applies to BYU will need at least a 30 to breathe easy

28-29 probable but get a 30+ to lock it in

It's true. BYU only uses unweighted GPA's. Most HS's in Utah don't do weighted GPA's at all. But they will

May need a backup plan...maybe Harvard or Yale. Maybe even Cal.

Lol at everyone saying 30+. That'd be above average for ACT and GPA

Thus it would be a "shoe-in" as was the question...

The question isn't for a 'shoe-in', it's just admission, period.

Doesn't BYU give equal weight to ACT and GPA?

I don't believe so. I think ACT carries more weight.
