I’m planning on having an admissions interview at Babson in the next couple of months and was wondering what kind of questions they’ll ask so I can prepare better. Any help?
I had my interview this past april, and I actually enjoyed it. I’m applying EA to Babson this year. All of the interviewers are current students (at least mine was, and those I know who have interviewed said the same thing), so there is a certain casualness to the situation. Unlike some interviews I’ve had so far, the Babson interview was not very question heavy, and the guy I met with only had 3-5 specific required questions to ask at most. Otherwise, the whole thing is based on fit. The main feel I got was “we know we do entrepreneurship, but why do you care/like it, and how does it connect to you/help your life?” Also, check this out:

Of course, this is for alumni interviews, which you won’t have, but I’d recommend going through some of those questions and listing out bulleted answers or something like that (specifically the high school, business, and personal based questions). I hope this helps, and best of luck!
Thanks for all the information and advice. That was really helpful!
