i couldnt find a thread for this! decisions are coming out 4pm today, i received a UPS ship notification saying that i have a package from babson college. any ideas?
Me 2! I’m an international student, and I also received a USP ship notification about 20 hours ago. Does Babson send out physical rejection letter in the RD round? I mean the email says they’ll not send decision notification through mail, right?
I asked on reddit and some people say that it means we are accepted! i am not super sure tho and dont want to raise false hopes haha. im international too! i cant imagine colleges paying international shipping just to send us rejection letters. we’ll see !!! where are u from?
Wow, that’ll be great! Babson is definitely one of my top choices. Anyway, we’ll see the result soon! I’m from China, and I’m in my second year of IB. What about you? (To bibiabiyeye: I think I replied this in the wrong section oops)
from hongkong!!! i love babson but its a bit unaffordable lol … i dont qualify for financial aid tho…
I got in! However, it’s for January of 2021.

Though the UPS has made the decision checking progress much less fun hahahah, I’m still very happy. However, I didn’t see any scholarship info in the admitted student portal or my decision letter. Does that mean I was rejected by the scholarship programs? (I applied for a few lol)

anyone knows when will scholarship results come? i only opted in for women leadership, presidential, diversity leadership on the online portal. but i havent heard anything from babson since. does it mean i have no chance of getting?
Hi bibiabiyeye,
The vast majority of our scholarships are awarded at the point of admission. This includes Women’s Leadership, Presidential, and Diversity Leadership. Students are able to see if they received this scholarship by viewing their financial aid award letter that is located on the Admitted Student Portal and the admission packet that you will receive through the mail.

Hi Erick2174,
Congratulations on your admission! I would encourage you to reach out to the admission officer responsible for the January admission program. Her contact information is located in your admission letter. She’ll be able to answer any and all questions about this program. The January admission program is a great way for us to admit students we are very excited about but were unable to bring in the fall cohort because of capacity reasons.

Thanks for your response! When I typed this response, I saw the January admit as a waitlist or meaning that I was a transfer admit. I’ve been researching and am actually pretty excited about it! Babson took a chance on me, even when I was told to not expect much. I will be calling Babson admissions tomorrow to review my aid package and learn more about the January admit. Right now, Babson is my preferred destination. I thank the admissions team for taking this chance on me. I will send a personal letter soon confirming my decision!
Got waitlisted… 
anybody know the waitlist statistics and how many ppl are waitlisted this year?
Not sure on the waitlist. Anyone know anything about cwel scholarship?
@user_465009 I got waitlisted too. Wondering if they’ll accept many students off the waitlist this year. Hopefully !
