I have searched for days trying to find this year’s applicants. Thought I would start new! My son got an email telling him he has been selected for an interview, but the alum has not contacted him. What is everyone experience with the amount of time between BHP staff contacting you and the actual alum reaching out? He applied on 10-27-17. Thank and best of luck to everyone!
@DramaMama1993 When did your son get the email? I applied on 10/31 and I haven’t heard yet, so I’m not really holding my breath for anything.
Submitted October 27, received email Thursday, November 9. Have’t heard from the alum directly yet.
Just heard from alumni on 11/9. She’s a recent grad working in a financial consulting firm. Scheduled the interview this week
Submitted October 2nd, got an interview email October 5th. The alumni contacted me the same day and I had my phone interview on October 8th.
Submitted Oct 1 and got email Oct 5 to schedule interview. She had the phone interview evening of Oct 9th.
When do BHP results come out???
Last year my child received a congratulatory call the week of Thanksgiving an email confirmation a week or so later. I don’t remember when the portal showed the acceptance but it wasn’t immediate. With the priority deadline 2 weeks later this year, I would expect the first batch of notifications to also be 2 weeks later - so maybe the week of Dec 4?
@CollegeParent123 Do most of BHP offers find out before Christmas or does it go all the way until Feb or March?
In recent years, they admitted a wave about now and then deferred everyone else who applied by the priority deadline. Those deferred heard in a few waves beginning in Jan, I believe. – you would have to check older posts to see when those waves were. Some applicants also get “wait listed” for BHP so may not hear until much later. But now, BHP no longer promises that priority deadline applicants will hear by a certain date so they could eliminate the deferral status. It is different this year so it is anyone’s guess.
I read that this year there will be no deferred applicants. It’s either in or out. I cannot remember where I read it but it was on an official McCombs page. Since the change of no more early decision, it changed the process a bit. My son has his interview on Sunday afternoon. It took the alum a full week to contact him. She is a BHP alum that actually works in McCombs.
So has anyone who has had an interview been accepted to McCombs?
Has anyone heard about acceptance into BHP?
“if UT follows the same pattern as they have been in the past several years, the next waves should be:
- Nov 29th, but this one is even smaller than yeterday’s
- Dec 15th, this one will be a slightly larger than yesterday’s with many decisions into Cockrell and McCombs
- Dec 16th, this one is notorious for being explicitly CNS decisions
- Jan 16th, typical announcement for 40 acres semifinalists
- Jan 19th, one of the biggest waves
- Feb 4th, small and random
- Feb 16th, biggest wave. if you don’t hear by now you’re in trouble bc—
- Feb 22nd, very few acceptances with mostly rejections
- March 1st, either rejections or final acceptances into honors programs”
@Bigmac98 Thank you for the info!
@Bigmac98 there was a wave yesterday? How many people heard back? Any OOS/intl?
I got an email for the phone interview! Is it okay if I schedule it next week? @DramaMama1993
It is pure speculation, but there should be a round of phone acceptances made on one of the next upcoming Fridays to notify the first round of BHP admitted students. Two weeks later than last year would place that Friday this week. Keep this in mind when scheduling your interview - you can’t be admitted without the interview.
@CollegeParent123 - in last year’s thread, it looked like the first round of BHP phone acceptances happened on Monday December 12. Was there an earlier round than that last year? And do they have a customary number or percentage of acceptances they offer in the first round? Thanks.
Yes, the first round was the Fri. before Thanksgiving last year. That was when my child received the phone call from BHP (as did other friends). It is expected to be two weeks later this year due to priority deadline moving from Oct 15 to Nov 1 and hasn’t happened yet.
