Not really. Those Mormons are crazy smart and all about worldly success. My Ph.D. program was full of them.

They have a similar ethos to Opus Dei.

I don't know about crazy smart, but no sex, no drinking, and no smoking are three pretty good prereqs for good grades. And a fairly stunted worldview.

I just thought that a degree from a non-accredited university might be a barrier to gaining interest to harvard. But I could be wrong.

Maybe I'm thinking of Bob Jones University.

Or being at Harvard may be a barrier to speaking at BYU (scroll down to paragraph beginning "since its adoption in 1992").

I have a double PhD in theoretical quatum blog commenting from the University of Phoenix. (Dissertation on the functional methodology of positing grammatical structures onto top and bottom quarks through calabi-yau space and the dissemenation of thought wave-forms via brane-hole posting.)
