    About Brigham Young University

    Brigham Young University is a large private university in Provo, UT, in a city setting.

    What Brigham Young University looks for

    Brigham Young University admits the majority of applicants who meet its baseline academic profile. For most students applying here, the work is in writing applications that reflect real fit rather than treating the application as a checklist. Demonstrated interest matters more here than at the most selective schools. Visiting, attending an info session, and asking real questions of admissions all move the needle.

    Frequently asked

    • What SAT score do I need for Brigham Young University?

      Brigham Young University's middle 50% SAT range is 1270 to 1460. A score in or above that band keeps you in the conversation; below it, the rest of your application has to do more work.

    • What ACT score do I need for Brigham Young University?

      Middle 50% ACT range is 28 to 32. The top of that range or above is what most admitted students submit when they choose to send a score.

    • What is the acceptance rate at Brigham Young University?

      Brigham Young University admits roughly 68% of applicants. An acceptance rate above 40% means a strong application can land here without high-end stats.

    • What does Brigham Young University actually cost after financial aid?

      Average net cost (after institutional aid) is about $15,564 per year. Net cost varies enormously by family income; run the school's net price calculator for an estimate that reflects your situation.

    • Is Brigham Young University a reach, match, or safety for me?

      Compare your stats to the middle 50% above. If you are at or below the 25th percentile, treat Brigham Young University as a reach. If you are in the middle 50%, it is a match. Above the 75th percentile and the school accepts above 25% overall, it is closer to a safety. Selectivity below 20% should be treated as a reach for everyone, period.
