BHP/Plan II Double major

<p>I am a high school junior who will soon be applying to UT. Is it possible to double major BHP/Plan II (or even triple or quadruple with spanish linguistics and music composition). I know this sounds a little crazy, but I plan on taking 5 years to do it, I will be starting as a Sophomore (15 AP classes 2 Houston Community College Classes), and I understand that the Plan II major is very flexible in its classes in a way that would allow me to fulfill requirements in other majors.</p>

<p>I do not party, don't plan on drinking, pretty exited about learning (If you didn't catch that craziness already).</p>

<p>SAT: 2300
ACT: 35
PSAT:225

<p>I don't know if any other information will help...</p>

<p>Double is very possible if you are doing it in 5 years. Triple could be too. I’d say quad is out of hand though. Even if you triple majored, I think you’d be sacrificing a lot of social life, etc. If that doesn’t matter, then you could go for it. Your stats show that you are intelligent enough. </p>

<p>Could I move music composition to a minor? How much less work would that be?</p>

<p>Isn’t it expected for BHP majors to have a second major in the business school?</p>

<p>With a PII and BHP plan, it’s more than possible to graduate in 4 years especially with enough credit. With another business major (finance, accounting, etc.) it is ALSO very much possible and done to graduate in 4 years. For some reason, the Plan II program makes recommendations to the contrary that you can/should graduate in 5 years and I don’t really see much reason save for the fact you really like to take your own pace and spend more money. </p>

<p>With Spanish as third major, it still may be possible, but I think with music composition, 5 years would probably the reality. </p>

<p>Either way, keep your options open. It’s still early. With your grades, you very well may end up somewhere totally different!</p>

<p>You can definitely do both, and hkem, not all BHP students have a second major in the business school–it’s not required. There are a lot of BHP students who are pre-med or are pursuing something other than business, but they like BHP because of the practical business background it provides.</p>

<p>Most students who do bhp/plan II obviously triple major–apply and see what happens. The advisors can help you a lot too at recruiting events next fall! Be sure to contact the BHP to ask about your unique situation and they will help you out.</p>
