<p>correct me if i'm wrong, but Brigham Young is a very conservative university, while Wesleyan is very left leaning. If you're considering schools like Brigham Young for college, I'm not sure that you'd like the atmopshere at wesleyan.</p>

3

<p>um this is the part where i correct you</p>

<p>he/she took a class at BYU during high school, most likely because it's a local university. they never said they're applying to BYU in that post.</p>

<p>I think the relationship is even more attenuated than either of you have supposed; I believe she identified the course in the line immediately following BYU, as "a correspondence course" in English.</p>

<p>My guess is that the OP is a resident of NYC. I could be wrong. But, I used to do college fairs at Abraham Lincoln H.S. in Brooklyn. She reminds me a lot of the students there.</p>

<p>With that in mind, the OP, while a strong candidate, would be competing with a LOT of similarly qualified students -- particularly women -- from the NYC metropolitan area.</p>

<p>Ironically, if she really were from Utah, I'd raise her chances of admission considerably.:p</p>

<p>I live in Washington State. I am currently taking a correspondence course through Brigham Young University, and I am defiently not conservative!</p>

<p>I'd say the outcome could be very, very, very rewarding.;)</p>

<p>Thanks, I sure hope so!</p>
