*SUU-Cedar City? I'm super confused unless we include the city.

Yes

I don't remember graduating with pretentious snowflakes. Did some of you do a

Trade in your “diploma”

Go to Ricks instead. Sounds about right for you.

Get your associate's degree or equivalent credits first

Come on, it’s in Idaho and Hawaii as well, cut the guy some slack

And those include the states with the official name.

US News disagrees.

You really just used US News as a source? What does the LDS Church say? Here's a hint: not what US News says

BYU-Utah??? Yeah be thankful that’s not what people call it

mosterlow

Gotta nip it in the bud. If we give it an inch, pretty soon all your BYU gear is going to say BYUP

Bert609

1/3/18 6:33am

Even worse, it would actually be BYU-Utah which is really confusing

Zephyr's a step ahead of you and already has a BYU-Utah hat.

It's not though. Those are separate schools-not the same school in dif locations

You should be automatically and permanently denied admission

Yeah, it's BYU-Utah.

Funny how Provo folks get their underwear tied in knots over a BYU-Provo post.

IronPotato

I'm not sure why you insist on calling the school by a weird name, potato guy. It makes a lot more sense to be right.

jdub

Thanks for validating my point.

I find it hysterically amusing how angry people get with a BYU Provo reference.

It's the best way to figure out who is wound a little too tight here.

dreamlvr

Completely agree. Beyond understanding...

Fwiw, my post was intended to be lighthearted

1/3/18 8:18am

Simple. Because that’s not it’s name. In any way. Ever.

canofpicante

1/3/18 1:38pm

It's called hubris/pride. Pretty simple.

CObluezone

1/4/18 6:02am

not sure how you could come to that conclusion. BYU Provo isn't a thing

Mayor of Cougartown

No. It's not hubris. It's simply about...

I don’t think anyone disagrees with that.

Coming from one with less than stellar grades

I transferred during the summer.

Does the pretentious attitude of some on this thread make you think twice

BigEasyCougar

^^^ Still butt hurt about failed BYU admission application ^^^

CougarThug

Nope. Proud BYU alumnus. I never call it BYU Provo but don’t freak out

BigEasyCougar

1/3/18 12:37pm

Calling the school by its official name is 'pretentious'?

Dissenter

1/3/18 8:48am

As one who attended UT Austin (yes, we call it that), it's not a big deal

Not at all. But some of these comments certainly are.

BigEasyCougar

I was admitted as a transfer student about 15 years ago. At that time

Denied!

Are you referring to UVU?

Start by using the proper name

Kerbouchard

Spend 1 semester at a community college and make a 4.0, your chances will be OK

Cashmeousside

1/3/18 11:57am

Does BYU still have "block" admissions. That's how I got in back in the day.

socorny

Transfer index is out of 46 points.

I'm sorry, to where? Do you mean UVSC?

ArchbishopMitty

What do you think this is UC Berkeley? We don't take transfer students.
