BYU will grab any student of color it can get. They're not picky.

I don't think BYU discriminates based on race. Now location....

Don't let them know that you're from Bountiful, AF or Sandy....

Its a numbers game.. More Utah kids apply = more Utah kids rejected

I think BYU is one place where it would be advantageous to be Asian
