Anyone receive LAH acceptance yet? Base on prior years’ announcement dates, snail mail acceptances could come in today or tomorrow…
I also applied to the Liberal Arts Honors Program. I have not received any acceptance/rejection yet. I know that BHP decisions are coming out mid-December, so I’m not sure if they release all honors programs decisions at the same time or what.
Some applicants who applied and completed by October 15 may find out early. Most will find out by March 1.
If you haven’t already, you may be interested in these statistics recently released:
“The LAH Class of 2020—155 students chosen from 1143 applications (our largest applicant pool ever!)—has just three more weeks in their first semester as Longhorns. Fourteen come from out of state, 111 are female, 44 male, and 8 are Valedictorians, 4 are Salutatorians. We have one set of twins and two siblings of current LAHers. Forty five hail from non-ranking schools, 14 from private schools, and 95 from schools greater than 200 (Allen High School remains the largest High School with a graduating class of 1533). Fifteen are from schools smaller than 200. The average ACT is 31; the average SAT, 1355.”
Thanks for the stats; interesting. Hopefully, we’ll hear of some decisions in the next couple of weeks.
Considering the fact that some Plan II and BHP applicants are hearing back now, does anyone think LAH acceptances will come out soon??
I would have thought the first wave would have come out already looking at last year’s dates. I’m guessing there will be some acceptance notifications on Friday. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Just checked my portal. Accepted to Liberal Arts Honors! Now to choose between LAH/Plan 2/Ivy’s…
Congrats isk2017! I got in too! Checked the portal this evening and saw the message. Hope everyone else gets the news soon!
Did u get a mail that ur results are uploaded or u just cheked ur portal
I got accepted as well!! I just checked the portal.
No email. Just the portal update with acceptance news.
Anybody know of anyone else accepted to LAH this round other than the 3 on here? Do you think there will be another round before the new year or is that it??
@txdad9799 It’s highly unlikely that LAH will send out more admission decisions in 2016. My best guess is the next round will go out later in January.
I am just trying to confirm that even though we only heard from 3 people on this site that a “round” of admissions was actually sent out. I don’t know anyone that heard anything about LAH so was trying to see if other people reading this know people that were accepted to LAH. Usually when a round goes out, there is more activity or you hear of more people…
I received a letter in the mail and portal change for LAH acceptance
For what it’s worth I live in Texas
I got into LAH yesterday. My portal status indicates that I’m accepted, but I haven’t gotten any letter from the admissions office. I expected to get the letter first as I live in Dallas.
My Stats:
ACT: 34
SAT II: 790,760,730
AP: 5, 3, 3
Rank: 1/14
Essays: Topic A - shitty, Topic B - good (it overlapped with the CommonApp essay), LAH mini essays - good
App submitted - Nov. 14
I was so anxious that I would get rejected cuz i only took three AP exams and got mediocre scores on them.
Now that I am accepted despite my weak AP scores, it seems obvious to me that the admissions officers don’t expect you to take more AP exmas than your school offers (my school offers only two). So, if you are worried about your AP scores as I was, you might be worrying too much.
I was accepted to LAH likely either early this morning or sometime before then and after Friday afternoon.
I didn’t expect to get in due to my imperfect scores, but I think because of my essays and recommendation letters, they decided to give me the opportunity.
ACT 30
SAT 1420
No AP credits
Rank 18/73
Essays: ONLY A & B; this made the news that much more exciting and confusing for me. Essay B was definitely my stronger essay, but both were not done as well as I’d hoped.
My letters of rec were extremely kind and very very very well done. I submitted three.
I submitted my normal app in early September but didn’t submit my honors applications until early November.
Congrats to everyone who has been accepted so far and good luck to those still waiting to hear back.
Congrats @nosyllaste , what major did you get?
So decisionz are coming every week
