It’s an amazingly good deal for a small segment of the population and an extremely unattractive prospect for everyone else. In other words, if you’re applying to BYU, it’s probably your first choice.

Last year, BYU was #1.

A lot of Mormon families also put a ton of pressure on their kids to go to BYU and some parents will even refuse to help pay for any other school.

My wife was one of those kids also. She also had the option of BYU-Idaho 😵

Yeshiva University is also very high for many of the same reasons.

Both cater to endogamous religious communities.
