I have a nephew who was denied admission to BYU last year.

Nice now he has a choice and choices are always good

Swish

Sounds like he made his choice and he was a bit bitter at the Y.

I bet missionaries leaving opened up space. Congrats to your nephew, good things

He passed on the offer

I would encourage him to reconsider. BYU doesn't have enough space for all

After the BYU rejection, he got excited about UVU's aviation program.

Ahh, great program at UVU for sure.

Woah, didn’t expect your last sentence. BYU academics are much more recognized

ChiCityCoug

Yeah, I can see deciding to stay at another good school but going to UVU seems

Schultz is back

So he was dejected he was rejected. Then rejected the offer?

This happened to a girl in my Ward.

HiLife

Don't tell Hotlanta that. He thinks there's no randomness to admissions.

garyfan

9/20/22 11:01am

Of course not

Hotlanta

You are responding to an extreme version of the point in an effort to defend

garyfan

9/20/22 12:20pm

Pray, tell what 'randomness' exists.

Hotlanta

9/20/22 12:25pm

Those stats that you just invented aren't very compelling. In my personal

There will be randomness in who sees your application

Basically the same thing happened to my daughter.

Sounds like his pride is getting in the way of really considering the offer

StantonMac

9/20/22 10:58am

Perhaps partly. But mostly he got invested in aviation, which BYU doesn't offer.

garyfan

9/20/22 11:03am

Well, that's something else entirely.

StantonMac

9/20/22 11:22am

No, there was an element of that, too.

garyfan

9/20/22 11:23am

I don't think it's bad for them to offer that. Kids can always decline.

unctoothman

9/20/22 10:59am

He chose UVU over BYU?

Skeptical Optimist

9/20/22 11:00am

Maybe he'll change his mind after his mission.

garyfan

9/20/22 11:02am

I have 3 kids in college right now, all juniors

VegasCoug

Just saw OPs post about the aviation program, excellent program at UVU

VegasCoug

9/20/22 11:06am

I should have mentioned that in the OP, but I was focused more on BYU's practice

garyfan

9/20/22 11:07am

With that judgement, maybe UVU is the place for him.

9/20/22 11:04am

Right. Hard to study aviation at BYU. Smart kid. (Read the rest of the thread.)

garyfan

9/20/22 11:06am

Sorry, that's kinda dumb.

That's one take on the events. LOL.

I was not accepted to Fall semester in 1997. I was able to get in because

I had friends at BYU who did the same. But saying, "You are admitted as long as

I was denied and I had to apply. You are denied to a start date.

UVU’s aviation program is top notch, and with the partnership with Breeze, will likely have a job right out of college.
