PROVO, Utah (ABC 4 News) - Brigham Young University is the "most popular" university in America according to a new study.

U.S. News and World Report gave BYU the top spot, beating Harvard, Stanford and Yale.

The results were calculated by the yield, meaning the percentage of accepted students actually decide to enroll.

So 78% of students accepted to BYU go on to attend BYU.

Last year, BYU came in second behind Harvard, but tied with the Ivy League school two years ago.

"Most popular?" Well that proves exactly nothing. U.S. News and World Report "calculated the yield?" Blah blah blah. Meaningless drivel. Somebody paid U.S. News and World Report a bucket full of money to spit out a puff piece.
