Hi I’m an Asian (Indian) female with a 4.73 GPA, an SAT score of 1560, and an ACT score of 35. I wanted to know what my chances were of getting into the Business Honors Program with a Finance Major or just the general Finance Major. I also have a lot of extracurriculars and a paid internship from a company featured on Forbes list. Thank you so much.
There is almost no way of telling you what your exact chances are. What exactly do you know about BHP? Figure that out and allow yourself to stand out so that you may be offered an interview. Stats alone won’t get you one.
You posted this same question elsewhere. And as I said on that thread, your rank is a major hurdle to just getting into UT let alone McCombs. Your rank is also way too low for BHP. Average rank of students admitted to BHP last time I saw it posted was 2-3%. You are way below that.
As someone who was admitted to BHP, I can tell you that rank is pretty important. The average admitted students’ class ranks have been below 5% for many years. For the class of 2022, I think it was something like 1.7%. However, this past year (this is not reported on their site yet), the average rank was a bit more lenient than previous years. I’m sure they’ll update the website soon. I can’t remember exactly what it was, but I know it was not as low as 2 or maybe even 3 %. Your other stats seem good for getting into BHP. Something else that can make the difference between good stats and great stats is high AP scores. If you have 5s in MANY exams, that indicates a lot of academic strength. Also, getting a high score (like an 800) in the Math Level 2 SAT subject test is good.
Nobody knows but good resume so keep hopes up. Mine got in but didn’t enroll and went to a T20 after talking to many BHP graduates, most who were doing exceptionally well, had MBAs from top business schools. He figured if he has to do that anyways then it’s better to attend a T20 of his choice and later get an MBA. Explore all available options, there are many as good or better.
Just seeing this now (I barely check this whoops), I actually ended up getting an interview for BHP so I’m hoping they overlooked my rank and focused on my leadership and test scores! I appreciate the honesty though, it still helped me work harder
