I don't know how BHP determines who gets accepted or not, but your stats are better than most I've seen, so I think you have a pretty decent chance. but BHP is pretty competitive so anything can happen.

heinochus

Is it really necessary/possible to calculate your GPA to that many places?

henryj223

i think so. my school uses the computer to do that for us. at some competitive schools the difference between val and sal can be .001 of a point. but that's as exact of a GPA as it can get haha.

openedskittles

Actually, your stats are better than most for UT, but not for BHP.

Everyone I know (who's stats I know) in BHP has better stats and a few who were rejected do, too. You never know, though, and you will be kicking yourself if you don't apply. There's always a chance you'll make it. Otherwise, you could just go to McCombs and transfer in sophomore year.

Why Two Kay

I had better stats and I got turned down. Just saying. Maybe it was my recommendation letter though.

TheAccountingCat

thanks all, I really appreciate everyone's input!

anything I can doto increase my chances at this rate?

I'm applying this year.

It will be tough, but you should go for it. My son had higher stats, but little work/leadership experience and did not get in and I think that hurt him. Write great essays!!

flatxca

I should also add that it actually worked out better for him the be in the business school and not the BHP. Whatever happens, it is not the end of the road!

TheAccountingCat

thank you so much
