Just commenting that my son had a BHP interview. I know that I am interested to know the timing of when interviews are granted and the stats of those who get the interviews as well as those who eventually are accepted into the program.
Some people who have had interviews find out within a couple of weeks, some are still waiting a month later. I think looking at stats isnāt particularly helpful because the students I know have been all over the board so there is no rhyme or reason. There is a very good blog post on Kevin Martinās blog about the process they use for selection. I canāt link to it because of terms of service on this board, but go ahead and google Kevin Martin UT Admission Blog and it will come up. If you canāt find it, I can send you a link via DM.
Iām in state, applied to McCombs and BHP on October 30th, accepted into McCombs on Dec 5th, was contacted for an interview on Jan 7, interviewed on 1/8, decision on 1/16. Pretty fast process from interview to acceptance was impressed.
Stats: 1570 SAT, one leadership position in high school, started a business, attended a prestigious summer business camp, rank 20/650
Got accepted into McCombs on 1/14, contacted for BHP interview on 1/14, had BHP interview on 11/18, and am still waiting for that. I think I have pretty good stats- ACT: 32, Rank: 10/507(top 2%), GPA: Weighted: 4.51 Unweighted: 3.82. over 80 hours of community service, own a business with my brothers, apart of a global studies program at my high school. What do yall think about my stats?
@Texaslonghorns1 I think you sound like an outstanding student but there is no telling whether you will get in. I have a student with a 1590 SAT, 4.0 unweighted, started his own business which he still runs, has a managerial volunteer role at a local nonprofit, is currently producing a PSA for that non profit as a senior service project, started an organization that he saw a need for, and has been invited by the department of education to enter the competition for 2020 Presidential Scholar. He was accepted on December 5 to McCombs. Had his BHP interview a day later. The alum and him hit it off, alum invited him to connect over Linked In andā¦ crickets. I donāt think āstatsā are necessarily at play in the selection for this program.
Is everyone receiving BHP interview calls? Anyone OOS who DID NOT get any interview call?
I am OOS and did not get an interview call. Iām not sure if it matter that I submitted my normal application and honors application on different dates however. I submitted honors after November 1st too.
My in-state son applied 10/21, received acceptance to Mc Combs 12/10, got an email requesting a BHP interview on 1/16. He emailed his availability and had the interview 1/17. Iām actually not sure when he applied to honors though. I think it was after he initially applied but before he was accepted into Mc Combs.
Hi sugarlandmom, can I ask which summer program? Thanks.
My son accepted into McCombs on 12/13, we are still waiting on BHP interview.
I applied early, was accepted to McCombs in December, and received my interview request just yesterday (1/24). I know that I was thinking it was too late to receive an interview, but I still got it. Hopefully this gives hope to anyone still waiting on an interview.
May I ask your stats @rv3000?
Hoping its not too late if S was admitted to McCombs mid-December and had BHP interview early December. It doesnāt seem there have been a ton of BHP acceptances yet but I know there have been some. Any word on timing?
were most ppl with BHP interviews instate?
We are OOS and had interview in December. I think its been a mix. Surprised we havenāt heard more acceptances on this thread. Hoping there are still more to be had
DD is OOS had a BHP interview which lasted over an hour. She will graduate will 12 varsity letters, 3 season captain, 35 ACT, 800s on 3 subject tests, top grades, president of clubs, top internships, has had a paid research position. Last night she got rejected.
I feel like I saw somewhere they would notify by February 1?? Anyone else recall seeing this? It is getting kinda late. My daughter interviewed but has not heard.
@karen0 Was the rejection from BHP or from UT?
@TheDarkWizard682 for sure. I am in-state rank 7 out of 684. 36 ACT. 800 on Math 2 and 780 on Literature subject tests. President of 2 clubs, State Level Soccer Player, Captain for HS team for 1 year, and I co-founded a company this past summer. Qualified for DECA ICDC last year and I was involved in a few other extracurriculars throughout HS.
Just had my interview yesterday evening! It was fairly short (20+min) and Iām an in-state applicant. I was surprised to have been offered an interview in the first place bc my application was only completed on 1/10 (super late rec letter submission). If anyoneās still waiting on interviews, apparently theyāre still doing them but trying to get those done ASAP
