UT Austin (Confusion between McCombs School of Business / Business Honors Program)

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello, </p>

<p>I am currently a senior at Plano Senior High School in Plano, Texas....I have applied to UT Austin (Business Honors Program)</p>

<p>About a week and a half after submitting my application, I got accepted into the McCombs School of Business at UT.</p>

<p>"Congratulations! You have been admitted to your first-choice major in the McCombs School Of Business ( Unspecified Business (Freshman) ) at UT Austin. "</p>

<p>However, on the BHP (Business Honors Program) website, it states:</p>

<p>"Prospective students should be aware that being admitted to UT Austin and/or the McCombs School of Business does not guarantee admission to the Business Honors program. Notification of admission to the BHP is mailed independently of the UT admissions decision prior to April 1st. Freshmen are admitted to the BHP only for the fall semester."</p>

<p>"Once the applicant has completed both applications (applyTexas as well as the BHP supplement), he or she may be invited to interview. Applicants invited to interview will receive a decision within approximately 6 - 8 weeks of the date on which the interview is completed."</p>

<p>I am wondering - when should I expect to be called for a BHP interview? </p>

<p>Are BHP and McCombs related, or are they independent admissions processes?</p>

<p>Because one of my friends got called for a BHP interview, but still hasn't got into the McCombs school of business....</p>

<p>I'm confused as to what is the exact relationship between BHP/McCombs?</p>

<p>Plano West is the Best...jk, I just haven't lost any of my dislike of Plano Senior. Assuming you applied for BHP (and not under Early Consideration) I would think that they would call you for an interview. I believe that if you mark your app for BHP, they first make sure that you are qualified for just the regular program (which you obviously are),and then they compare you with the other kids who got accepted to the business school, to see which they will accept for the honors program. I would call them to make sure though.</p>

<p>WUCK FEST!!!</p>

<p>Haha, jk - but thank you very much for responding back.
I think I got a better idea of their admission process now - what you said makes sense.</p>

<p>I'll probably call them on Monday or so.</p>

<p>Yeah, for BHP you have to interview and usually I believe you have to schedule it. I got into McCombs too and would be going if not for ED. Congrats! :)</p>

<p>Oh and Plano Senior High is awesome, pleasepleaseplease beat McKinney Boyd High School in all sports. Seriously.</p>
