<p>Sorry for taking forever to answer! I was making waffles haha! 
But the reason why their yield rate is so high is because the mormons of Utah plan since birth to go there! So they apply, they get in, and they go. Nobody actually applies there unless they’re going! I’m not knocking BYU at all and saying they aren’t “acceptable”. Honestly, I’ve never looked into the school academically so I’m sure it has great academic facilities! But virtually every school is good at preparing you for life after college so look into ones that won’t be so confining. BYU is NOTORIOUS for being a conservative mormon school. I’d venture to say that 90% of the student pop. is mormon! If you’re not, you might go insane. And it’s not like Utah is that liberal of a state where you could hang out off campus and get a refreshing change of pace. Four years will be like that for you! If you were mormon I would say go for it but it’s alooootttt to think about if you’re not. Truly, there are better “cheap” public schools.</p>
