Because that's two kids at one bank and their overall placement is still disappointing given how highly they're ranked
I see a lot of Berkeley when I check linkedin
I know they recruit at BYU because of a few solid alumni but placement is hit-or-miss each year. Q’s interviews are notoriously technical but we get slammed even harder because we have a business school + we don’t much prestige yet. They come early in the process (first screens were in February) so only true superstars who pursued banking starting their freshman year really land there.
**To elaborate, the business school comment means we offer technical degrees (as opposed to a liberal arts background) so we are held to that standard and we aren’t prestigious yet because most of the programs are extremely young. We place pretty well across the street now but nobody in their right mind will take an unprepared BYU kid over an unprepared Harvard kid — way too much of a gamble.
Yes, 4 actually
Out of ~35k students we have around 500 nonmembers. Most of them are religious otherwise. I think it’s a requirement to be active in some religion (not necessarily ours) according to the honor code - I can look it up to confirm if you’re curious.
Another small fact to consider - around 1 BYU student is baptized per week. So we have an average of ~500 non-member students each year but ~10% of them join the church before they graduate.
There’s no telling how many students actively participate in the religion though. Some baptized students who don’t actively participate go to BYU because it’s cheap + a great school + a good environment to be in if you want to excel academically. There’s room for every kind of person at BYU so long as you’re willing to live the honor code.
You're not alone...most people don't want to be part of a cult. I feel for the kids who are indoctrinated into it from birth
I vehemently disagree that my comment is ignorant. I have friends that are Mormons, and have a fairly decent understanding of the religion.
Cult definition: a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister
I believe that indoctrinating children into ANY religion that relies on a leap of faith, and then turns around and forces you to give 10% of your annual income to the church is a cult. To me, that is a sinister practice that takes advantage of the malleability of a child's mind.
If a free-thinking adult wants to enter something like that, more power to them. But a child born into Mormonism doesn't have a choice. Just like someone has the freedom to believe in any religion they want, I certainly have the freedom to think and say that it is a cult.
We believe that God wants all of His children to become like Him and to have the same blessings He has. We believe that we were all spirits before this life and that God created this earth so we could gain a body, then learn and grow and become more like Him.
Our goal in this life is to experience trials and temptations, but also to experience joys and happiness, and to learn to choose between right and wrong. We are supposed to follow Christ and learn from our mistakes/become better through repentance. We believe that Christ will redeem our sins as we rely on His power to change and save us.
In our religion, marriage is an essential part of salvation. One cannot truly become like God unless they are married in the temple for all time and eternity, because we believe that God likewise has an eternal companion. We also believe that there are many things you learn in marriage/by raising children that you can’t learn otherwise.
So to answer your question, we get married at a young age because we believe it’s essential to salvation. True happiness comes from growing and changing. There’s no point in putting it off if you know you want to be with someone forever - we just know from an early age that we want marriage vs. “experiencing the world” through stuff that we feel doesn’t bring us happiness.
TLDR: we get married because it brings happiness and we believe it’s an essential part of salvation.
**edit: this is not meant to sway anyone to my beliefs. I was asked a question - I wanted to give an in-depth answer because there are many common misconceptions about our religion. I have plenty of respect for people who live by different standards as long as they have respect for me.
