Thank you @txrunner9728. I will keep you posted if I hear any good news. Thank you all and wish you good luck.
Just got denial e-mail from BHP. I kind of saw it coming, but still hoping for McCombs and Plan II!
Same here, came at around 3:25 for me. OOS from California. Fingers cross for McCombs. What is Plan II? I see that mentioned all over the place but I really don’t know what it is. Could someone help me out??
@richbatman It’s an honors program/major with a kind of interdisciplinary core curriculum, ranging from philosophy, sciences, literature, humanities, etc., the whole shebang (with a large focus on writing, I believe?), and since it’s fairly flexible, some students combine it with other majors? Hence why I applied to Plan II and BHP/McCombs, aha.
My S got the denial email as well but he was admitted into McCombs and so I was happy. Please keep your hopes up as we have still time. I am also happy for those who got into BHP program. Great work students!!
Yesterday afternoon, my S received the denial e-mail. We were a little surprised and certainly disappointed. However, he was accepted into McCombs (still waiting on others), so it’s not the end of the world. Provided below is a brief summary of his record/background for those who are interested:
Standardized tests: SAT 1550; ACT 32; SAT Subject - US History 730, Math II 720; AP exams - 5’s on five, 3 on one
HS stats: rank 8/391; GPA - 4.0 (UW), 5.391 (W)
EC’s: Varsity Tennis Team #1/captain, Mu Alpha Theta officer, NHS, Key Club, DECA
Other: AP Scholar with Distinction, National Merit Recommended, Tae Kwon Do (2nd degree BB, 9 yrs, Pro Demo Team, Leadership Team), USTA Champ
B
Anyone heard about scholarships yet?
Yes, months ago.
S got offer from BHP on Feb 15th for OOS Scholarship
Scholarships for in-state are still forthcoming as 40 acres offers have only just been offered. Once those are accepted/denied program departmental scholarships will be offered (though only a few of these BHP awards are available). Additionally, interviews for Texas Exes chapter scholarships have taken place in April in prior years with notifications in May or June if I remember correctly.
Hi guys, I am admitted by the UT BHP. What is the deadline to accept the BHP offer and make deposit in UT ? Thank you all!
May 1st I believe
Thanks @Aztreas !
Now that Ivy Day has happened, those of you still undecided, what other programs are you/your child considering? S is now choosing between BHP and UChicago and has declined UVA and others.
My D declined her offer to BHP (with scholarship). Good luck to all!
Where is she going, if you don’t mind sharing?
Hi folks, for UT BHP and Yale NUS major economics, which one do you like?
Struggling with very similar decision of UT BHP vs. UChicago Economics. Tough to compare the pre-professional path vs. the Liberal Arts. We have a child already in BHP and the program has created career opportunities that we believe are equal if not better than those offered by the Yale and UChicago type schools. And of course there is also a significant cost difference. Within the BHP program, the students are similar in academic abilities and intellectual curiosity found in the student bodies of the Top Tier universities…very tough decision.
