ACT? What were her essays about...

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

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

Look into this and BYU’s flex GE program

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.

One can transfer from any college with a high enough gpa and time.

Dang, that sucks. But don't let her give up. There is always a path

Cougar TD

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

TCuz

2/18/23 2:46pm

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.

TCuz

2/18/23 2:59pm

that is stupid

demon_llama

2/18/23 3:06pm

BYU’s middle 50% is 3.86-4.0

SouthernBlueBlood

Have her do FlexGE and attend BYU. If she does well - she will get accepted

GPA needs to be 3.9+, essays need to be perfect

2/18/23 4:04pm

I know a lot of kids who got in who are not close to this. I all so know kids that check these boxes and were dinged

Cougstreak

BYU Flex GE. This is the way. Anyone who wants it enough will get into BYU

2/19/23 8:13am

Sorry man. There are other good options though. Best of luck to your daughter.
