<p>Hmmmm.. I'd say you have a good shot at UT Austin, but I am not really sure about Emory....</p>

<p>Acceptance to UT
Probably not BHP though</p>

<p>haha Northview, I'm from Milton.</p>

<p>I'd say you have a pretty good shot at both of these.</p>

<p>Thanks for the responses! </p>

<p>Anyone else..?</p>

<p>I think you have good chances for all, though I'm not sure about the BHP. I wish we had a Bhangra dance program.</p>

<p>I nkow BHP is uber competitive..</p>

<p>but i never figured out what types of ppl get in? </p>

<p>Top 5 percent?</p>

<p>Crazy SATs?</p>

<p>Or what?</p>

<p>averge is top 3%</p>

<p>no if you're in state for UT (which doesnt apply to u), you get accepted to b-school automatically if you are top 5% (maybe top 3%, i'm not positive) of public hs class. BHP is a mystery, i know people that were barely in top 5% that got into BHP, and people in top 2% that didnt get in (from same HS). BHP places a lot of emphasis on ECs, however they only take 100-150 kids each year. Your ECs are good, and business related, but your class rank is a bit low, and your SATs are probably just average for BHP (maybe a little above). I dunno, BHP is REALLY random, so i'm not sure for you.</p>

<p>thanks guys.</p>

<p>I got a letter from BHP on Sunday.</p>

<p>Straight Rejected. =( =( </p>

<p>but..still waiting to hear from the college itself. </p>
