UT Business Honors Program

@longhornpride123 Do you live in the Honors dorms? I want to live in the Honors dorms. If so, what do you think about it?

@gettingschooled Thanks. I checked out the thread and it looks like first round of interview requests were rolling within a short window of about 2-3 weeks. I’m just glad all requests weren’t sent out on the same day. That would have been bad news. Also seems like there was a second round in February.

@itsgettingreal17 There were some kids from the priority round who were deferred to that Feb round. I was actually glad my S was not one of them. He got the bad news in November. We are not patient people. Waiting until Feb would not have been fun.

My child who did receive a BHP interview request yesterday is seeking admission to two honors programs so it may be that the early interview request came because two programs need to make a decision, so please don’t let the information sharing cause any unnecessary stress. I posted it because I believe it is a good sign that even though the auto-admits and “in-review” status changes were later than prior years, this interview request could signal that admissions is back on track with prior year’s schedules.

@CollegeParent123 Could you say when you child completed the BHP app? Mine completed his BHP app on 10/13 and has not received the interview email yet. Thanks.

@computersci Application submitted mid-Aug with Rec’s completed mid-Sept.

Do you think they do it by when you submitted your application? I submitted on the 14th, and have not received an interview yet.

@CollegeParent123 @computersci ^^

@CollegeParent123 Thanks! @longhornpride123: I am hoping that one week was insufficient for the BHP Admissions office to process the apps and schedule interviews. There is hope!

My S applied for BHP around 10th of October. He got automatic admission to UT Austin based on his rank. I am eagerly awaiting for an interview call. Thank you @computersci. I still have some hope. Fingers crossed.

When is the latest that they can give an email for the interview? I submitted on 10/9 and I have not gotten an email about a phone interview yet. My application is in review and I’m scared that this means I will get rejected. :frowning:

@cgsarat71: As per last year information, I have seen posts until middle of November and the second round was in February. I think we have lot of hope. Cheer up. :slight_smile: Do we know how many seats in Total for the freshman in BHP?

@Trying4BHP Haha thanks! I think last year, 242 got accepted out of 1700 ish

Hello All, has anyone received any interview emails yet?

@Trying4BHP I haven’t received any email yet!

I received my email last Friday, and my interview is tomorrow evening! I’m really excited.

Congratulations and best of luck for the interview. Like others we are eagerly awaiting for the email :slight_smile:
Do you mind sharing the stats for us? When did you apply, SAT or ACT, GPA and EC activities, clubs etc after the interview? Thank you all for the response.

Congratulations @Anaphoras !

Thank you everyone!

I applied 8/1 but my BHP app was only complete 9/7 (had to wait for recommendation letters). My ACT was 35, with a 36 on English and Math, 35 on Reading, and 33 on Science and Writing. The way my school calculates weighted GPA is kind of weird, but I have a 4.0 unweighted GPA and have taken 8 AP classes so far, with 7 more in progress senior year. I think my extracurriculars were my weakness, I had NO business organizations but I had a lot of leadership in my school’s band and competed at the state and regional level for band and French competitions.

Best of luck to all of you!

@Anaphoras Rank?
