eheathEveryone that goes to BYU is mormon. If you're serious, check out U of Utah.
Way*MoAre you going for some sort of MBA?
BYU somehow scores well on business school rankings, but I’m convinced it is all due to Mormon nepotism and how the rankings are calculated.
The rankings likely consider post graduation job placement and salary. It is well known that a lot of ‘networking’ takes place in the church. And that LDS led companies hire LDS employees whenever they can, which means BYU graduates may find positions above their training just because they are Mormon and thus inflate the above metrics. If you are a Mormon, by all means go. If you are not, I do not think you will benefit nearly as much as you would expect.
Timbyi’m a catholic
Hayden2700I got into U of U but I’ve also heard that everyone there is a Mormon soooooo
Ski_AlotJust apply to University of Montana Law
PeppermillRenoGo to Law School in Washington DC so you can work for the government and get like 10 weeks of vacation a year and do absolutely nothing. You don't have to live there after whatever internships you get should be good enough.
BradFiAusNzCoCaWhen I briefly lived in salt lake, my roommate was from Provo. I met some of his high school friends and even went to a BYU game. If you’re not from that world, I can’t imagine the culture shock
Timbyid start ski racing before i become a government attorney
PsychicMigrationI'd rather ski race and be a government attorney then go to BYU

Timbyill learn how to soak and do anal with mormon broads
BradFiAusNzCoCaDo you like coffee?
This was like a decade ago but I literally remember my roommate telling me coffee was rebellious and the slc coffee scene was growing. I was like “This has to be a joke ”. It wasn’t just one reason but I left utah pretty fast. I was not down with that state at all. Granted, it seems to have changed a lot.
Apparently byu still prohibits coffee
PsychicMigrationPretty sure one person jumps on the bed to make you stroke so it doesnt count
SlitherySnakethere’s a lot of tools but if you meet the right people then you can get into the chill groups pretty easy.
the school is good and the campus is great, me n my buddies swear like sailors all over on campus and no one gives a fuck as long as it’s not like addressing a prof. or something
idk it’s strange but it’s really not as bad as everyone is saying as long as you meet some chill dudes

TimbyThats one of my safe schools. I'm banking on getting damn near a full ride there from merit scholarships, just looking for the best I can do for skiing while in school.
SteezyYeeterwhatever u think of the religion, mormons are much better people than any of us by almost any standard unless your definition of a good person is being a hedonist.

Ski_AlotSame here, but not so confident on full ride haha. Whats your LSAT/GPA? I've been working as a paralegal for 3 years and my LORs are all from lawyers at my firm so I'm hoping that improves my apps a bit as well.
MastePoleWhackerYou don’t live in Utah, you haven’t seen the extent of corruption in the church/state nor have you seen the cultish way the organization treats its members

Way*MoThe ignorance of this take is astounding. All the most bigoted, racist, and generally vitriolic events I have witnessed in person were all carried out by Mormons. The kicker was not only did they say or commit these things, they generally didn’t see any issue with them or think they were bad either.
Are all Mormons bad? Absolutely not. Are they better than any other group? Also definitely not.
SteezyYeeterok
SteezyYeeterwhat you consider bigoted and racist is not actually bigoted or racist.
skiermanHey man, I get it. Some people think old men rubbing "holy" ointment on little girl vaginas is completely normal.
Timby3.8high 16high. you have me beat on experience and LORs. any advice for seeking out internships/paralegal opportunities in undergrad? the real ding in my app is a C&F issue, which i mentioned in this thread earlier. also how’s your LSAT studying going?
SteezyYeeterwho does kek
skiermanAn example of when someone cannot defend their position.

SteezyYeeterlol who the fuck is touching little girls privates... you're retarded. you actually should fill your lungs with cement, you cannot just say random shit that never happened... at least say rape little boys or something that has happened in the church... i swear your mother must have been a crash test dummy
