UT Business Honors Program

@jshu11 more calls will be made in Feb than were made this time around.

So if applied before October 15th and had my interview October 26th and got accepted to McCombs on November 18th, but I haven’t been accepted, would I get my denial or deferral when the portal updates by Wednesday or so? Or would I go until February without any updates?

I had my interview in October but I haven’t gotten into Mccombs and haven’t had an acceptance phone call… when is it acceptable to contact admissions to see if I have been deferred to February?

@Anaphoras I’ve heard that they’ll email you deferrals/denials during this round, and then you’ll hear the final decision in February if you’re deferred.

Congrats @BigPapiofthree!!! Very happy for you guys!

@Turtle18MRC I think they should contact you soon if you’re deferred or denied this round.

I applied 10/14 or 10/15 (don’t remember exactly which) but my teacher’s letter of rec didn’t get in/arrive until 10/19. I haven’t heard anythingg from McCombs/BHP yet, not even an interview, nada. I guess it’s safe to say that my app just sucked so much they tossed it to the side for now?

Portal now shows acceptance into BHP on the Honors Tab.

My D is in a similar boat. She barely made the 10/15 deadline and we have not heard a peep. She is approx. top 10% of her class (school doesn’t rank), very competitive school, 1450 SAT, National Merit Scholar Commended. I don’t get it! Will we hear anything about McCombs or BHP sometime this week? Even “deferred” would be appreciated. We were hoping for UT, so will need to quickly apply to a few more universities if we don’t hear something soon. I have BA and Master’s from LBJ School at UT, so really didn’t think there would be an issue.

Congrats @CollegeParent123 !! Are they doing more calls today or not? Also, did you guys recieve notification for Mccombs before you got into BHP?

Much congratulations to @CollegeParent123. I wish we were in your shoes and am delighted for you. Excellent program.

McCombs notification came weeks before.

I had called BHP in the morning and they said more calls today, but have not heard anyone who received one. I have had an interview and got into mc combs really nervous

@Longhornalum2 Yeah, I have similar stats: 32 ACT, top 2-3%, etc., except I’m auto admit/in-state, which makes it seem like I should have received something by now, but who knows? But agreed, I’d like to know if I was denied/deferred, aha.

Emails have come out to let you know if you have been denied/ deferred!

…and I haven’t gotten anything… is something wrong/should I be contacting admissions or something?

@collegemochii We are in the same boat. Admitted to McCombs and Plan II. Completed BHP app before Oct 15 and received emails with updates on BHP timelines as if we were in early group but noticed that teacher rec not dated until November 16. Have not received an interview, call or defer/deny email. Clearly they are still plugging away.

Has anyone been deferred???

D just received email saying she was denied. Not even interviewed and had 1450 SAT & National Merit Commended. Now we’re worried about McCombs.

@lolpleaseplease I just received my deferral email ~2 hours ago. Email said that 40-50% of deferred applicants are ultimately accepted that results would be released before February.

Does anyone know what the deferral rate is for BHP?
