Congrats, I was waitlisted. I also got waitlisted by minnesota. I might end up going to Michigan State.

Only time will tell

thanks smash
from what i look at it, any school is worth it - no matter the supposed "reputation" or name value of the school; as long as you do your best in whatever situation you're given. MSU is a great school, you're a great student, you've got great opportunities.

hope for the best (:

Yea well im out of state for michigan state so going there isn't very afforadable. It's definitely my #1 school but the cost is just ehhh.

Congrats to those who have gotten in so far. Anyone know when we get more information? Like class schedules and stuff?

heeje_90

i'm not sure buti think we're supposed to get them around april or may. they probably haven't published the latest student handbooks and stuff yet.

So when do we get financial aid results back? Will it be mailed or e-mailed?

I just got denied for the second time. I don't get how that happens when they have an 80% acceptance rate. That leaves only a 20% chance of being denied, yet I seem to have fallen into that category twice! I don't get it! I have a 3.6 GPA, TONS of extracurricular activities, was the captain for my high school basketball team, 4 years of 6:00AM seminary, etc...

Well, I've decided to appeal the decision this time. Most of my family lives in Provo and I would really love to be around them. Does anyone have any idea how the appeal process works at BYU? I've written a letter but I'm sure I would have to present myself to a hearing. If there is anyone from admissions I would greatly appreciate the help. I'm going to call on Monday to inquire about it. Looking forward to the Rexburg Temple dedication tomorrow! =D

TheSmash

well i got accepted on thursday.

3.4 UW GPA and 23 ACT

Early morning seminary
4 years of FBLA and Rugby.

I know my bishop wrote a very good recommendation for me because he really wants me to go there.

I'll most likely be going.

Bump.
I am in a similar situation as gnookergi.
Anyone done an appeal for BYU? (specifically BYUH)

trishalynn_08

They are usually really firm about their BYUH decision. Its main purpose is to educate the kids from the Pacific Islands, so if your not from there its really hard to get into and I think an appeal would have little affect.

Would being morman increase or decrease you chances of acceptance? Do they want diversity in faiths, or just straight up LDS?

thanks guys
