Out of the several out of Florida Universities that interests me is one of any of the BYU unis, any I would be able to get into BYU and ultimately into the BYU accounting program at Provo. Yet before I give 105 dollars for this application I am wondering if BYU,BYU-H,or BYU-I is the right school for my not-so-good stats of a mere 2.83 GPA and as first time ACT of 24. (though jr sr years have a 3.70 GPA )

Im also wondering where I can get the ecclesiastical endorsement, since I do live in South FL and have no idea where to go to meet a Bishop.

In addition, I want to know if the general religious atmosphere of BYU is appropriate for someone who is of no official religious affiliation, but would lean towards a non-chrisitian religion (Buddhism). On non-religious terms I find the college of the right atmosphere: strict on appropriateness of language, grooming standards, academic honesty, and lastly a no-tolerance policy on alcohol and drugs (something that isn’t present at my states public universities =()

Also, If I do fail to get in, would I be able to transfer after a year of CC, with an excellent gpa?
