<p>Hey everyone! BHP acceptances have started rolling out (I got mine yesterday!!) and I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread so that the people accepted into the program could start getting to know eachother! There are only 125 of us so I assume we'll be seeing a lot of eachother over the next few years! </p>
<p>I'll start by introducing myself. My name is Haley and I'm from Vermont. Texas (and Austin) is quite a different scene from my hometown but I'm looking forward to it! It's pretty hard to find warm weather and football games where I'm from! I submitted my initial deposit to UT last night and now I'm looking forward to the next few years as a longhorn. HOOK EM!</p>
<p>My daughter had an interview for BHP several weeks ago, but has not heard anything and her status has not changed on Be a Longhorn. Did your status changed to admitted before you got the letter?</p>
<p>@ buckley4 I applied in the priority deadline pool from out-of-state and had my BHP Interview on 11/6. Yesterday I checked my Be a Longhorn application status and it had changed to say: </p>
<p>“Congratulations, Haley! You’ve been admitted to The University of Texas at Austin.
You’ve been accepted for admission into the Class of 2017 to the Unspecified Business (freshman) major in the Red McCombs School of Business beginning in Fall 2013.”</p>
<p>If I am correct, this guaranteed me a spot in McCombs but not the BHP. A few hours after seeing my acceptance to McCombs I received a phone call from a BHP alumnus telling me that I had been accepted into the BHP program and that my official acceptance letter should be making its way to me in the next week. </p>
<p>Good luck to your daughter! I received an email a while ago telling me that they would be making decisions for the early pool all the way through December 7th so she still has a shot! Just keep your eyes peeled because it can come at any moment! I definitely was not expecting it yesterday!</p>
<p>Thanks or the info! Does anyone have any idea what percentage of those interviewed get offers?</p>
<p>Congratulations to those admitted to BHP! I’m surprised we haven’t seen more admits chime in here.</p>
<p>My DD got what amounts to a deferral letter saying she was still in consideration but would be evaluated in the context of the entire pool of applicants they receive by Dec 1.</p>

<p>Good luck to your DD and I’ll keep my fingers crossed for her! Hopefully her and I will get to be classmates next year!</p>
