However, this sticker price may not adequately represent the difference in living costs between Provo and Salt Lake City. However, each college is looking to fill its incoming class with a variety of students with different strengths, backgrounds, etc.
Therefore, the acceptance rate alone is not a good indicator that Brigham Young University-Provo BYU is a better school or will be more difficult for you specifically to get into. On the flipside, University of Utah is easier to get into based on acceptance rate alone. Both colleges provide on-campus living options. Most importantly, though, check out the video below for a sample of dorm tours at each school.
After all, college should prepare you for a career! University of Utah Overview. The is true with the professors in the universities as well. There is a difference and I think it comes from serving missions and having language and interpersonal skills. You can argue all you want, but being able to handle people of diversity and having language skills is huge. Yes, I think there is a gap in maturity and effort as well.
Way to support the divide. Its nice to know that your co-worker would rather have a game night at home with the family or a picnic after church instead of wanting to go to the bar on Friday night. Its also nice to know right off the bat that you have something in common that you can talk about in the office.
Whether that leads to them getting a job or not is less relevant and gets into issues of hiring discrimination on the basis of religion. Great article, but I think it misses some of those cultural undertones that exist at the state level and is a little unaware of what students actually go through in the hiring process.
Out of state students are a great study sample because they are new to both the state culture and the school rivalry, so they can speak more to what it is like to be an outsider on both. Also, as a fun fact, our MBA program is ranked 2 in the country for learning and 2 in the country for entrepreneurship by Bloomberg…. I think the conclusions of this article are inaccurate. There is a rich alumni base from both colleges in Utah, but some areas of each school are stronger than the other.
BYU is stronger in the entrepreneurial department not necessarily the ranking of the program itself, which is based on research output, but, rather, in terms of companies founded by graduates. So the data is consistent with people hiring graduates from their alma mater. Utah is much stronger in the medical and engineering industries and I suspect BYU grads probably face more of an uphill climb in those industries. Also, a pretty good chunk of the Utah graduates are members of the same religion as the BYU graduates with precisely the same religious devotion, which casts doubt on the idea that Utah grads are discriminated against based on LDS culture.
Adobe is mentioned twice, which is the only company on this list not founded by a BYU alum. Here are a few others you can look into to test your theory. Another take on this could be related to the fact that the entrepreneurship program at BYU is ranked 4th nationally judged by merits and not merely peer reviews. As small start-ups they hired like-minded individuals who they knew would help their companies grow often colleagues from school.
There are a lot of grammatical errors, typos, and nominalizations zombie nouns in this piece. The bottom line is neither stereotype fits very well. Every company suffers from a predilection, usually a subconscious bias, to hiring employees that are very much like the hiring manager, this is nothing new and there is no evidence in the article to narrow it down to academic nepotism.
This is a broad problem of diversity and harms teams, one of the many issues I was trained as a manager to avoid when making hiring decisions. However, what this article points out is many of the larger, Utah-founded, tech companies were founded by BYU grads. Why is this so? Or, is this just a case of tech entrepreneurs self selecting BYU? This article really poses many questions which have not been answered, and personally, as an alumnus of both schools, like many thousands of people, so I would find it interesting to know more.
