The most powerful chemical mutagens, which increase the frequency of mutations hundreds of times, are called super-mutagens. Some viruses might also be considered chemical mutagens, since the mutagenic factor in viruses seems to be located in their DNA or RNA. Mutagens are apparently universal, that is, they can cause mutations in all forms of lifeâfrom viruses and bacteria to the higher plants, animals, and man.
BYU looks at more than just your academic performance. If you were not admitted due to high school test scores and/or gpa you can take a year (30 credit hours) at a community college and then transfer. Once you have a year at another college, BYU will look at your transfer gpa instead of high school one. The average transfer gpa was 3.65 for 2014. You still need extracurricular activities, ecclesiastical endorsement and a well written essay. You can check the transfer-ability of classes to BYU here:
