I was just offered an interview for BHP and I’m really nervous/excited because I wasn’t expecting to be offered an interview. Is there any tips/advice you could give me based on your BHP interview experience? Everyone I know said they bombed their interview last year, and I’m not sure if that was due to their own lack of preparing or if the interview was just really difficult.
Also, does this mean I have a good chance at getting into McCombs because they offered me an interview for BHP? Or is there no connection?
Thank you!
baconwaffle: have you already been accepted into UT and McCombs? My S is waiting to hear back from UT, McCombs & BHP.
Good luck with your interview. I’m sure that there are CC threads from prior years which will tell you what to expect.
Also, baconwaffle, how and when did you receive your notification regarding the upcoming interview?
Ljtjrose, I have not been accepted to UT or to McCombs (I’m not an auto-admit). And I got an email about my BHP interview on Tuesday.
I think that all BHP candidates are interviewed but I am not sure if that is the case and perhaps someone with more knowledge than us can enlighten us and answer your question. :-*
@Ljtjrose not all applicants get interviews. They make a huge cut of applicants and those who made it get interviews. and @baconwaffle no promises, but the chances of getting into McCombs after getting an interview are very high. Happened to me, I was also non-auto
@chucotx thanks for the reply!
congrats on getting offered one! not sure if you still need advice, but my interview was by no means difficult. pretty much just a mildly awkward hour long phone call…lol
I highly recommend you look up old threads and see what everyone else reported that they were asked, because that’s what I did, and a surprising number of the questions I prepared for did come up in the interview. I read somewhere that to some extent, they have a predetermined list of questions they choose from, although they do have leeway to add their own.
all that being said, I did come off the interview feeling unethused and not too good about it. but I got in, so perhaps it wasn’t as bad as I thought!
anyway, I was asked why ut, why bhp, favorite classes, moment of leadership, moment I was proud of, moment of teamwork, etc.
hope this helps! relax. you’ll do great
@freshegg thank you so much for your reply! My interview is on Monday so that definitely helps. Yeah I’ve been searching the old threads trying to figure out what they might ask/what to expect and that’s helped a lot. Now I think I just need to relax haha. Thanks again!
