UT Business Honors Program

I finally got my interview email yesterday and will interview tomorrow. Nervous but very excited!

For those wondering about deadlines, my interviewer told me today that the BHP office is running behind this year with reviewing applications, so most people who applied early will hear mid-December.

Got into McCombs today!

Sweet!

Congrats!

I got in too! Now just waiting on BHP. Are the rumors that they’ll start releasing decisions in December confirmed?

Are wither acceptance into McCombs OOS?

@BigPapiofthree No, I am an in-state auto-admit.

thanks for giving info

Congrats, a great business school

Sent my honors application in before the 10/15 priority deadline, also haven’t gotten an interview yet. Many of my friends have. I’m a little worried… I didn’t do much with business (really a CS guy) but I’d like to think that I was somewhat competitive.

Same thing with major, many of my friends got them in the past few days but I didn’t. Is there a way the rounds are determined?

@ryanyz10 it’s too early to read anything into who got interviews and who has a major status change. Interview requests seem to be still coming out-- they are running a couple weeks behind prior year’s timing. For my current child in BHP, the status never changed until the BHP acceptance was received in Feb. For my second child applying now, applied very early and did receive an interview but doesn’t have a major status change. Both were auto-admit and, in my hopeful opinion, qualified applicants… Someone else posted this as well, but you can’t read anything into whether a major is indicated or not if you know you are a strong candidate., especially if you applied to more than one honors program. Hang in there!

I got an interview the first week they were notifying people & I thought it went pretty good but I have not heard back about McCombs yet. I am super worried this means I got rejected. Does anyone know if they are sending another wave of McCombs acceptances next week? Also, how much does the interview factor into their decision?

the interview doesnt effect for mccombs, if you got an interview tho you are probably in mccombs and they are still just processing

Oh yeah for sure, I meant how important of a factor is the interview for BHP (like I know you need one to get in, but once you get one is it the determining factor?). And, if I didn’t receive a mccombs decision on friday am I denied for BHP?

If you are denied for BHP, they will send you an email. My S got one last year- in November and then got into McCombs in December. Some people get deferred to the regular round of BHP.

If you got an interview, are you more likely to get deferred or to get denied now?

I would assume deferred out of the two, but I don’t know for sure.

So if we haven’t gotten into McCombs but we received an interview does this mean we are probably deferred or denied? :frowning:
