Thinking about BYU...should I transfer?

<p>Hey there everyone,</p>

<p>I`m thinking about applying to the Y as a transfer student (to be clear I already finished most of the application but one part) and having a hard time trying to decide whether it's best to withdraw for a short time or just continue on with it.

Before I ask my questions, here are my stats:

my college GPA is 3.7
around 40 credit hours, 50 credit hours including exam credit
approx. 75% of general study courses that actrually transfer there
currently residing and going to college in Utah (rumours say that's a factor...I`m not convinced though)
sophmore
multicultural student
active church member (not currently in a student ward)</p>

<p>okay so here are my questions (dont have to answer all.....any of them would be great):</p>

<p>-do you think I have a chance if I apply now? </p>

<p>-are the classes really rigorous than most colleges or AP classes (if your first college is BYU)? If I were to go to the Y, my Gen Ed course that are left to do would be in the Quarantitive Literacy, Physical, Biological Science and 2 other areas...lets just say I`m a little intimidated by that now because of the type of classes left and rumours of the Y being harder on study load and academics. </p>

<p>-Is it better idea if I wait to get my associates degree then consider transfering? They tell me I need 4 more clases to get that degree in the school I am in now, which wont happen till Fall semester of 2008 ( I did not enroll Spring semester '08 due to some issues I had to take care of). </p>

<p>Hope anyone that knows about BYU can share anything concerning this. I would totally appreciate it. </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>You are pretty much a shoe in. </p>

<p>My best friend goes to BYU and she tells me BYU is between a regular HS class and AP class. Most of the challenging classes are the foreign language and any writing class.</p>
