I have to be quick so I can't insert the question # (which I don't remember) or a link. If a mod wants to edit for me and put it in, I am open to that.

The article doesn't talk about the impact on BYU, but it does say that applications have increased from 700/week to 4000/week since the announcement. Over a 3 week period, that's 9,900 more applications than typical. I am not sure how many of those are at BYU.But I have to assume some. The articles says slightly more than half are from female applicants. Big deal I'd say.

Impact on admission to the BYUs? It might be easier to get accepted this coming year than it has been for a while. Class sizes will still be the same. There are more than enough applicants every year to fill out the class. The average GPA/ACT scores may just be a bit lower than usual.

But can they really afford to let in a bunch of new people when the other people are still going to be coming back at some point? There's going to be a bottleneck, somewhere.
