UT Business Honors Program

D received email today saying BHP decisions would be out by mid December…

Same email here. I called earlier in the week. was told they were not adhering to last years schedule, and decisions this year would be later…oh well

My S had his BHP phone interview w/a young alum who works at Shell - interview happened Sunday - email today from BHP says they’ll release decisions in mid December (I am guessing this is for the apps that came in by 10/15). My S is auto admit.

I’m not auto admit, so how long do you guys think it will take for me to get an update to mccombs (I had an interview btw)?

how many people got an update on BHP or Mccombs so far? Mccombs accepted 1756/6968 last year is probably a good indication of this year

I got into McCombs, but haven’t heard from BHP (had an interview)

What are your application stats (Rank,Scores,ECs)? I have also applied to McCombs and BHP, so I would like to know if you don’t mind sharing.

S received status change today from “auto-admit, awaiting major” to “admitted to McCombs”; had BHP interview many weeks ago.

Just checked S status. OOS accepted to McCombs…he had BHP interview. Wondering if this means he might get bhp acceptance. I did not expect OOS student to hear from McCOmbs

congrats @BigPapiofthree. The MO for BHP seems to be an afternoon.evening when acceptance calls are made followed by a day of emails with deferral or denial emails sent. This should happen in the next 8 days based on their email. Good luck. Having gone through this before, it seems that if a school (not just UT) is going to send, a denial they are typically sent on Friday late afternoon so they are sure the students are out of school and, hopefully, home with support around them.

D just checked, she is OOS, accepted into McCombs, had BHP interview, still waiting

Does anyone know if an interview is required for acceptance into BHP? Our D had listed Plan II 1st and Business 2nd and completed the honors apps by the early deadline. She is an auto-admit and heard back in September that she was accepted but without major. She did not get an interview for BHP when all on here were getting them. Two weeks ago we learned that business would not consider her if it was not her number one major so she switched the order of her majors and immediately was accepted to McCombs but by that time the early waves of interviews had already happened. Can she be accepted to BHP without an interview during this upcoming wave or if she will be deferred so they can decide whether or not to interview her at the first of the year? Of course it is possible that she may also be denied.

I believe an interview is required.

@houstonmama That sounds like a situation that perhaps only the BHP office can answer and it also wouldn’t hurt to place that call to make sure that they are aware of the situation. They are really nice in the BHP office and I bet would be really helpful letting you know what timeline to expect given the switch.

D got into BHP! She just received the call.

Also got phone call. Into BHP!

Just received phone call! Accepted! Congrats to everyone else!

What is the acceptance rate of BHP?

S received call and is accepted to BHP. Was told portal would be updated Wednesday (maybe next Wednesday he couldn’t remember - said the call was a blur) . Very excited! Congrats to the other recipients and good luck to those waiting. D, a current BHP student, was deferred at this time and accepted in Feb. so it is still very very early.

Congrats all @brookelr how long ago did you have your interview?
