Have her go to UVU one or two semesters then transfer. She will get in. This is what my Sisters did.

What do out of state kids do about tuition the first year?

I think summer term is in-state for all, no?

You only need like a 3.6 high school GPA to qualify for in-state tuition scholarship.

Easy suggestion - but Out of State for UVU is almost $18,000 (tuition/fees only)

Student Aid. Or just stay in your own state then transfer. Works the same.

3.6 GPA and 24 ACT gets you a out of state waiver

For only one year though. If you live year round you can get residency

We live in South Carolina. Out of State tuition much more than resident?

Go to BYU Idaho and transfer.

This is what I would do. Also likely get a scholarship at BYUI for first yr

No need to be gouged by Utah schools for those of us out of state

The thumbs down by violetjazz should be seen as a big endorsement of BYU Idaho.

UVU is a good option to have the BYU experience without getting accepted.

Can also do BYU flex GE and still go to BYU

Sorry to hear that. I think any candidate with a below average GPA should probably aim for a 32+ ACT score

3.8 is a below average GPA?
demon_llama
2/18/23 2:52pm
Yes. Like way below average. 3.86 was bottom 25 percentile last year.

BYU’s middle 50% is 3.86-4.0

Must have been pretty low or not submitted, which is the same as a low score.
