So, I don't get it. We couldn't get a straight answer out of anyone as to why. I know they have a larger proportion of females to males, but with results like that I would have expected some kind of scholarship offer, but to flatly reject her application. Makes no sense.
So BYU is no longer on my "like" list, mostly because we couldn't get a real answer out of anyone.
That's too bad. I had a similar experience as a high school kid--didn't get into a college that I expected to get into. Like you, my dad talked to the admissions office and eventually found out that I had been rejected because too many people from my high school had been admitted the previous year. Go figure.
Anyway, sounds like your daughter will do just fine at UNR, and congrats to her on the upcoming mission!
