We have a guy in our area applied first time 3 years ago and got in. Has done it the past two years and both times got in.

So 3 years in a row he has been picked.

So freaking lucky.

Nobody talks about it because they don’t want you competing with them for a spot

sad but true. Way too few spots... but I get it. BYU only has so much space on campus and coaches only have so much time

We didn't get selected either. We seem to get in once every 3 times or so since

I'm okay with them giving priority to big donors. Wonder how much gets you in

Is it really $600 each?!😳

People have no idea how big a conspiracy this is. Someone needs to blow it open.

I completely agree with you, but isn't that just called life? $ rules everything

It seems he's ok with the "that's life" part. Seems what he wants to change is claiming it's random when it's not. Seems

Its the Bohemian Grove camp of BYU

ryebrye

Definitely hard to get in, but it's the best F&S camp anywhere. Keep applying.

You’ve probably been applying to the wrong camp if you started applying
