Freshman Application Checklist

Early Consideration Deadline: November 1, 2008
Regular Deadline: January
15, 2009
How to Apply
Applications to the Business Honors Program are submitted through the ApplyTexas Application and the supplemental Online Honors Application. All applicants must complete both applications to be considered for admission. Complete application requirements are detailed in the checklist below.
Prospective students should be aware that being
admitted to UT Austin and/or the McCombs School of
Business does not guarantee admission to the Business
Honors program. Notification of admission to the BHP is
mailed independently of the UT admissions decision prior
to April 1st. Freshmen are admitted to the BHP only for
the fall semester.
Rolling Admission
The Business Honors Program
uses a process called rolling admission to evaluate applications. This
means that we evaluate each individual application as soon as all of the
components for that application (including the interview) have been
completed. What this translates to for applicants is that in many cases,
the faster we receive your application, the faster we can give you a
decision. BHP begins evaluating applications shortly after the Nov. 1
early consideration deadline. Some applications may be deferred for review until after
the Jan. 15, regular deadline.
Application Criterion
The following criteria are used in selecting candidates for freshman acceptance to BHP:
- High School class rank and transcript
- Evidence of extracurricular involvement and leadership skills.
- SAT/ACT scores
- Two Essays
- Professional resume
- One letter of recommendation (electronic)
- Interview with a BHP alumnus (by invitation only)
NOTE: As the academic achievements of the applicant pool improve, leadership has become increasingly important as an admissions criteria.
All materials are sent to UT Admissions where they are processed and routed to the appropriate college or program. UT Admission will NOT route applications to the BHP Office until the application is complete.
