I’ve been a longhorn my entire life and am beginning to become anxious about whether or not I will get into McComb’s. I was never really worried about getting in before now but some of my friends are hearing back from other majors and I don’t know if business is admitting people who aren’t auto admits. I know nobody can really answer this question for certain, but it would ease my nerves if I could hear some of yall’s opinions.
-Top 15% at Memorial High School in Houston (extremely competitive)
-1440 SAT score
-Very full resume
Where do you guys (and girls, if I’m going to UT I should probably try to be as progressive as possible) think I stand? I will absolutely go to McComb’s if I can but I also applied to BHP and was wondering what my chances of getting in there are too.
Thanks,

@vitamindguy It sounds like you worked very hard and submitted a thorough application - congrats! As hard as it is, you just have to wait out the process. UT is unlike many schools in that it releases decisions in waves and it seems the many posts on CC have proven the the timing of the decisions is meaningless. On the positive side, you may hear earlier from UT than you will from other schools, but on the negative side, hearing that others have received acceptances while you’re still waiting creates anxious moments.Hang in there! McCombs and BHP seek qualitative traits like leadership and intellectual curiosity and are not just about the quantitative test scores and rank. You have as a good of a chance as anyone. You may have read that BHP selects applicants for interviews and that about half of those interviewed gain admission. Though the interview process is underway, interview invitations will continue for a little while. Good luck!
Thank you that was very helpful
