Great to see posts like this, it is amazing to see how BYU-I is coming along. A side-note to consider is that the CIT and CS programs up here are at minimal equal to if not superior then either of the other BYU’s

Wonderful discussion,

I am currently, and recently declared, double major student at Byu-I.

I’ve talked to internships specialists that have worked with the Big 4 Accounting Firms and they noticed how some companies take the BYU interns and the BYUI interns and put them together as a group, labeled, “BYU interns.” Note: these are the big 4 accounting firms, not a little known firm with a delinquent HR department.

I have several friends that have been accepted to both or all three BYU’s (hawaii included) and have chosen to come to Rexburg.

BYU has the national reputation, they have the sports, they have the history and thus, the entrenched tradition within LDS circles of being the flagship school of BYU. That is certain, however, I feel BYUI is quickly becoming more of a “sister” school, rather than the “little brother” school.

The “sorry you didn’t get in” mentality is quickly fading from campus, maybe even faded. I think BYUI alums should take a trip here and see the expansion going on, it is really great to see.

I am a BYU-Idaho graduate and I completed my Masters degree at the University of Oxford in 2007. I personally know of others who graduated with me that have attended graduate programs at Harvard, Thunderbird, and University of Chicago. I am sure there are many others.

When I was at Oxford, there were students there from BYU, University of Utah, Utah State, University of Wisconsin, Southern Virginia, University of Arizona, etc. What school you did or did not attend probably has much less to do with your future success than what you did with your opportunities both within and after school.

I am about to graduate from BYU-I, and I was easily accepted into my preferred school to pursue a PharmD. I was in the 94th percentile on my PCAT, and that includes everyone who took it from any school. I agree that BYU still has an advantage when it comes to research, but when it comes to getting into professional programs, that is rarely the biggest factor in one’s acceptance. BYU-I definitely produces grad school candidates of equal or better quality, compared to those from BYU, because the relationships they have with their professors, (who actually are more connected in their respective fields than you might think), are more beneficial that any amount of research could ever be. If you talk to anyone on the faculty of a professional program that does a lot of research, they won’t hesitate to tell you that the more research intensive a school is, the lower the quality of teaching is, and consequently, the students in that program won’t perform as well as those who have quality teachers at their disposal. I think too much emphasis is placed on research, and it is not an indicator of quality in the least.

This is true I was recently at a final job interview with many universities including BYU and BYU-I. Those from BYU and BYU-I were actually just grouped into the same school as we did activities. FYI

Thanks for your comments, Adam, and good luck on getting into law school. We here at ABEV know a lot about that…
