Personally speaking...
I graduated from BYU. My wife did too. Every child of ours who applied were accepted.
I'm adamantly opposed to sanctioned practices which unfairly penalize qualified kids because of arbitrary factors outside of their control.

University isn’t strictly an academic experience. And the purpose of BYU especially isn’t solely to educate.

Despite being subsidized ~75% by tithing? Biggest expense to the church.

Right. Better to compare them to metropolitan orchestras instead.
