@CodeNinjaTX Congratulations. I can totally relate to that! My daughter would have done the same too. I had asked her last week to answer every call even if she thought it was spam.
@JonnyF , 35 ACT, 800 Chem and 790 Math 2. Her school does not rank. Few leadership positions at school, non profit work, national science awards and 2 business plan competitions.
The interview went well, she said.
That Hanks so much for sharing!
srparent15: need your help on BHP interview. Could you please ask your daughter what were the typical interview questions? I was scheduled for BHP interview and not sure how to prepare for it. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
@JonnyF happylibeann, who is recently accepted by BHP, posted great tips for BHP interview on Reddit. Somehow I can’t post the link, please go check it out.
Hope it helps. Good luck!
@JonnyF My daughter said that the interview was a very casual conversation. There was definitely a question about why BHP or what aspects of BHP attracted her. There were some questions about future plans. For the most part, the interview was about answering any questions she had about the program itself. My daughter said that the best way to prepare would be to review why you applied to BHP, what specific aspects you found interesting and to prepare some questions that speak to your future plans - career advising, classes, internships things like that, but specific to what you want to do.
For the rest, it was a fairly relaxed conversation. Good luck!
@CodeNinjaTX Did you daughter receive the invite for admitted students dinner on Jan 10th? Do you know if anyone else received it? Thanks so much.
@ganfam Yes, she did. Another student from her school also got invited. Her friend from another district also received invitation.
The dinner will be held somewhere in Dallas. Is it the same place for your daughter?
Have OOS received BHP acceptances yet? We had interview very beginning of December and just curious how acceptance waves work for BHP. Hoping it doesn’t mean not happening.
@CodeNinjaTX Thank you for letting me know. I’m guessing that the dinner is for in state only. Are all of you in-state? We are OOS. On the website it says that there is another event in March for the whole class. Maybe they will invite us to it. My D will not miss any opportunity to visit Texas!
@hookem24 . Yes my daughter is OOS and she received her acceptance on 17th Dec. She applied mid October, Mc Combs acceptance Dec 6, BHP interview 10th and BHP acceptance 17th.
oh no I applied 10/20 and still haven’t heard from mccombs. is that bad? only one other person applied to UT from my school, she got into cockrell already. (she was also valedictorian)

Congratulations to your daughter again! That is such the wonderful Christmas gift from GOD!

One more question please. Is your daughter applying CSB as well?
I am an auto admit into UT, got into the university on August 23 and I applied to mccombs and am still waiting to hear about McCombs. I am number 10/507 in my class(top 2% of class) and I had my BHP interview on 11/18. Is it bad that I havent heard from McCombs and BHP considering I applied to McCombs so early and have already had my BHP interview and havent heard anything.
@Texaslonghorns1 … Assuming good SAT/ACT scores you are a very competitive applicant. Best wishes!!
I have a 32 ACT
@JonnyF No. She only applied to BHP and only to MCombs.
Thanks thanks so much! Happy New Year!
