Hi all!
First off I would like to say thanks for taking the time to read and give me my chances on getting into BYU! Please don’t be afraid to be realistic, and don’t pull any punches. Thanks everyone!

So I am a senior this year and plan on applying to BYU twice. One for early decision and one for regular. I am asian and am not a member of the LDS church however I am converting after I met some missionaries and am not sure if I should register myself as LDS or not. Additionally, I am a US citizen and speak two languages, English and Korean. Spanish I speak and write enough to get by when I go to Mexico. I also live in San Diego, California so I will be applying out of state. I wish to be a dentist, and I want to go to BYU since it is a dental feeder school with a great pre-dental focus.

not sure if i’m blind but do you have an ACT/SAT score to go along?

3

Oh my gosh I am so sorry. My Sat score was a 2250. Reading:680 Math:770 Writing: 800

4

Well with that score, shouldn’t seriously have an issue getting in along with your other achievements. Good luck I think you should be fine

I think you are highly likely to get in because of your SAT, but BYU only looks at unweighted GPA and their average is 3.85. Since your GPA is lower than the average I would make sure your essays are top notch and really show how amazing you are. I know people to have gotten in with lower GPAs and ACT/SAT because they wrote fantastic essays from the heart. You can look up these prompts on their website to get started.

If you are baptized before December 1, then you apply as a member. If you aren’t, then you apply as a non-member. Also, you don’t apply twice to BYU. There is a priority and regular deadline and you must submit it by priority in order for your best chance and to be considered for scholarships! So, submit your application by December 1 and then they notify you with a decision in February/March. Good luck!

Thank you all for your advice and God bless. I’m honestly so thankful there is a chance as I went through some tough times but I’m praying for that second chance and it looks like I have it. Thank you everyone. Truly.
