UT BHP/Plan II Combo?

Colleges and Universities A-Z The University of Texas at Austin

<p>Hello!
I am senior in high school and I have just received my acceptance to UT as an undergraduate business major. I have also applied early action to BHP and Plan II and I'm wondering what everybody's thoughts are for this combination if I were to get accepted into both programs and pursue a double major. Will it be extremely rigorous and necessitate 5 years? Do the two, in any way, conflict with one another? My sister currently attends UT and claims that the BHP/Plan II people "are the most arrogant with no 'real' interests." Is this accurate, or is it just coming from an anti-business, anti-Plan II liberal arts honors kid? </p>

<p>Also, I was wondering if you guys would help realistically evaluate my chances for admittance into those two programs. Here are my stats:
Rank: 14 of 646
SAT: 2320 (1520 w/o writing)
National Merit Semifinalist
AP Exams: CSA(4), USHist(5), EngLang(5), FrenchLang(4), and taking 7 others this year
Major Extracurriculars:
4 years of both varsity string and varsity symphony orchestra, where I have been actively involved (involving the officer position as treasurer) and done well in various violin contests and earned awards, 2 years of school tennis, 2 years of Model UN, NHS, officer positions in two other school clubs, I teach violin lessons to junior high kids, and I have interned for the past 2 years at a non-profit small business counseling organization which involved writing for the Houston Chronicle</p>

<p>I know I put a lot down, but that's the general idea of the stuff I put on my apps. Oh, and another question: what criteria do the BHP admissions people use to grant certain people interviews and not others?
Thanks a MILLION for any input. I really appreciate everybody's time. :)</p>

<p>Congratulations on your quick acceptance into the Business school! Your stats and ECs sound great to me, but I'm no expert. What I did want to mention is that I bet you can get some of your BHP and Plan II questions answered by getting in touch with one of the Plan II student contacts, who apparently are available to answer "any questions you may have about life in Plan II, and other 'insider information' you might be interested in". </p>

<p>Plan</a> II Honors Program</p>

<p>At the bottom of that page is a list of 10-15 students who are double-majoring in Plan II and Business, and many are in BHP as well. Again, congrats!</p>

<p>Thanks for the info! I seem to have missed that page when I looked over the Plan II site.</p>

<p>From the perspective of a planII student, BHP people and people who double in business and planII are no more "arrogant" than anyone else associated with honors programs. There's a certain amount of cockiness that goes with all those programs, including LAH. I'm met plenty of PlanII/Liberal Arts or even plain liberal arts majors who think they're God's gift to academia.</p>
