For some reason it seems, BYU places more emphasis on your academic records than on your test scores.So, its better to start working to get your grades up. While I was applying to BYU, I googled a lot comparing the statistics of those who got accepted to BYU and found that majority of those who got in had either good academic records or good participation in extra curicular activvities, but majority had great GPAs. There are examples of those having perfect or great scores in SAT being rejected.
Its so may be because the long term academic record is a better representation of your academic success in college than your short term standarized test record.
This one fact is important to bear in mind.
But, Dont be distressed if you have lower academic scores.
I have also seen numerous instances of people getting in even with low scores . In this case, the point is to write a strong application essay. People simply ignore this important part thinking their impressive academic and curricular record is enough to appeal the grader.Make your essay strong. I remember giving a month or so writing my essay.
