2.7 GPA, Extraordinary Entrepreneurial Experience. Any Chance at Babson?

<p>I'm applying to Babson in the fall (Holistic admissions with an average GPA of 3.4) and am not sure what to think.
My high school curriculum was mostly all honors and AP, but I did really average so my GPA is 2.7 unweighted.
SAT is 2000 so that may give a slight boost. Now, I know that 2.7 usually wouldn't even be considered for this school. However, they are ALL about entrepreneurship and I've got something on my resumé that one in probably 100,000 kids have ever achieved. Here it is:</p>

<p>At the age of 15, I started my own wearable technology company and built my own prototypes. I learned coding, design, and development. I set up my own manufacturing line overseas and actually built a business out of it. This slowly expanded and I actually got private funding from a investor. (around $25,000) A year from then, the company has had really huge success and we have big numbers. ($100k revenue, features on huge media channels, famous customers) Today, I still run the company and I've had the following honors:</p>

<ul>
<li>Young Entrepreneur of the year by College Apprentice program</li>
<li>Accepted to YEC (Most prestigious entrepreneur organization in the entire world)</li>
<li>Featured on Fox TV Business Network</li>
<li>Featured on Fox 25 News (Guest Speaker)</li>
<li>Featured on CNN Tech</li>
<li>And some more...</li>
</ul>

<p>Just how much will this matter to the admission office? I have done something that a lot of adults who have masters in business/entrepreneurship have failed to do in their entire lives. I hope that Babson really cares about my achievements and looks less on my GPA, but please input your thoughts!</p>

<p>Thanks so much.</p>

<p>That GPA is really low. Your EC sounds great! If you have some genuine resasons for the low SAT score, you might manage to get in.</p>
