BYU is a much better school than Oregon. You proved the bias against Mormons.
Academically speaking, BYU is much more difficult to get into than a lot of other schools including the University of Oregon and Washington. A friend of my son got accepted right away into the University of Washington. For BYU it took a bit longer. He graduated HS with a 3.7 GPA, took a lot of AP classes, and had high ACT scores. He ended up going to BYU.
