Babson College Early Action notification is Dec. 18?!

<p>I just received an email from Babson College,</p>

<p>Dear ____: Your application decision will be posted online Sunday, December 18, 2011 at 3pm (Eastern Time). Please note: You will not receive decision notification by mail. </p>

<p>· You will use your My Babson (my.babson.edu) account to view your decision.· If you have never used your My Babson account, you will login using the username and password previously emailed to you at this address. Test out your username and password now by logging in at my.babson.edu.· If you have forgotten your username and/or password go to My Babson, click the “Forgot your password?” link at the top of the screen, and enter your email address (**<strong><em>@</em></strong>*******) to view your username and reset your password. </p>

<p>If you have already been admitted under another college’s binding Early Decision program, please notify us immediately at <a href=“mailto:ugradadmission@babson.edu”>ugradadmission@babson.edu</a>, as we do not want to jeopardize your enrollment there by sending you an admission decision.</p>

<p>I applied under the Early Action program. I thought they would notify applicants by January 1st?!! does this mean I got rejected… lol did anyone else receive this email?</p>

<p>My S also got the same email you did.</p>

<p>My S also got the same email today. </p>

<p>My D is at Babson as a student now. The year she applied, they did get their decisions before Christmas even though it states January 1st on their web site. They let applicants know their decisions earlier, thank goodness! </p>

<p>I was a little confused, because my S applied EA, but they should know he is EA and not ED, because he did not sign a ED agreement. I don’t think this email gives us an indication either way of acceptance or not, I think it is just a notice of decision announcements.</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>I got in and they’re giving me 48k, all in grants I believe.</p>

<p>is one’s scholarship supposed to be stated on the letter?..did u apply for finaid?</p>

<p>Please post your stats, I got deferred with 2090 SAT and 4.0/5.0 GPA… I don’t understand…</p>

<p>Deferred… same i dont really understand. I had 2170 SAT, 3.3-3.4 UW GPA with many AP &U Honors courses (well yeah this could be), and strong ecs that really reflect my passion and interest which are also on business and international side… hmm…</p>

<p>Got into Tulane + scholarship, CWRU so far… rejected from my dream school friday, deferred from Michigan yesterday (saturday), and Babson… Im losing hope now… 3 in a row…</p>

<p>My notification letter did not say anything about merit-based scholarships either.</p>

<p>I got in. </p>

<p>For my stats <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1256342-chance-me-wharton-harvard-columbia-etc.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1256342-chance-me-wharton-harvard-columbia-etc.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>For scholarships, go on the portal page after logging in and look for ‘award summary.’ </p>

<p>Stats: SAT: 2160, GPA: 4.28 W, 3.77 UW, Rank: 9/207 W, some ECs, (I hope) my recs were good, and I think my essays were the bomb dot com.</p>

<p>@Wnsirlord and @Urbannight My S was deferred as well; similar stats. I have a theory: the quantity of EA candidates is very high this year, because of gluttonous applicants who have applied to schools like Babson as a “back-up” or “safety”. I believe that you both, like my S, are perfect, “target” students for Babson, but in the pile of EA candidates you all didn’t have a prayer. In the RD pool, you all will be accepted, because Babson’s yield from their EA pool will be low. There is really no reason for Babson to accept you all now when they can have you all later! None of us can really complain, because we could have applied ED if it was truly our first choice! Right?</p>

<p>Yeah chances are, I won’t be attending even with all the grants. So best of luck everyone. Btw I only took the SAT once and I’m from CA so maybe they liked that too</p>

<p>Yeah, even with 1/2 tuition from the Presidential scholarship, I might not go to Babson depending on where else I get in. However, I didn’t apply solely as a “back-up” and to screw other people’s chances over. Babson really does interest me.</p>

<p>Same. I’m very interested in Boston and business thus thought I’d give Babson a shot</p>

<p>Did anyone get rejected from Babson EA or did they defer everyone?</p>

<p>I got rejected outright.</p>

<p>I got accepted with a 32 act and a 3.76 gpa. </p>

<p>Congrats to everyone who got accepted, good luck to anyone else who got deferred :)</p>

<p>Rejected 3.77, IB program, own my business, Intern for Congressmen and captain of 2 varsity sports. </p>

<p>Was a bit shell-shocked. Had a great relationship w Admissions Rep, or so I thought. It happened for a reason. Feel good about other options.</p>
