Why you think you were accepted:
Where else were you accepted: At the moment, I’ve only heard back from/gotten accepted to Indiana’s Kelley School of Business and Chapman’s Argyros School of Business
I’m from Minneapolis, MN and I applied EA and was accepted. My ACT superscore is 33, composite 32 M35/R35/E34/S29. GPA 3.945 uw. I want to concentrate in finance. I applied for financial aid and got 40,000 from the babson grant and 1,000 for travel expenses as well as two loans. I’m mixed and a female, my dad makes 100,000/year but my mom is unable to work due to illness. I work 25 hr/week on average, was a Sgt for Mpls Police Explorers, varsity softball player. Volunteered with Reading Partners and Police Explorers. Have taken classes at a local university full-time through dual enrollment since junior year. Good luck everyone! I am curious if any merit scholarships haven’t been awarded yet? I don’t think I got any which I’m a little surprised about.
