Lol, Harvard has about a 5% acceptance rate. BYU is around 65%.

BYU isn’t even close. Harvard is elite, BYU is a good school.

10/14/19 2:37pm

Do you believe Utah and BYU's admission standards are in the same neighborhood?

10/14/19 2:38pm

No. Harvard ≠ BYU and BYU ≠ Utah.

I agree.

I didn’t compare the two, the OP did. It’s a ridiculous comparison.

BYU does not include those that "self-select" against application despite having a preference to attend there. If

No, no, pretty much, sort of, no.

Is this some kind of jab at the paralympics?

I keep hearing people say we have Alabama expectations, but have never actually

10/14/19 2:26pm

And no... getting into BYU is much much easier than Harvard.

10/14/19 2:27pm

not for your typical football recruit...

TheLost

10/14/19 2:39pm

Yes, they are extremely different. You think Harvard gets elite football players

10/14/19 2:42pm

Our National Championship did create 'illogical expectations' for me and many

You are spot on. I mean we just got soundly beat by our rival for the 9th

SJS would beat us by a touchdown. 🙂

To be fair... our expectations aren’t Alabama level...

It was literally a joke

Although somewhat exaggerated, this does point out the misalignment BYU has

Not a fair comparison at all! Oral Roberts lets you grow a beard.
