My S was fortunate to be accepted Plan II + McCombs in December. As he makes his decision, we’ve been concerned about the info sent by Plan II regarding dual majors. The “Welcome to Plan II” book includes a 2016 Senior Exit Survey of 99 Plan II grads. Only 65% reported graduating in 4 years! Another 16% took 4.5 & a final 16% reported needing 5 years. This stat did not break out the dual or triple degree recipients from the Plan II only group. But another stat in the booklet (from the same survey group) listed half of the 99 answered surveys as “multiple degree” recipients & another 28% as “multiple majors”.

This week he spoke with a current junior who is Plan II + McCombs (marketing). She thinks she’ll graduate in 4 years but admitted she brought 12 APs w/her to UT from her big public HS.

We think Plan II is terrific, but we are also feeling like it will probably be a 4+ year process for my S to graduate. He will not be bringing many APs with him (his private school emphasized honors classes over APs… now I understand why the big public Texas high schools offer so many APs!).

Please comment or DM me if you have insight as to dual degree Plan II 4 year grad experience. Thank you!!
