I was a decent student played sports, got into BYU via sports walk on and ended up with a 3.4 Finance degree

Not everyone has good study skills or support system in high school, plus add family and other factors.

For undergrads I have no issue with that. Grad school is different.

Grad school is harder. More demanding. More expected of you.

If you can't manage a B average in HS, you will die at BYU, academically.

No, but if you can't manage a B average at most HS, you are not ready for BYU.
