Babson College Regular Decision Class of 2021

got rejected… oh well.

Just got accepted RD! Is there a GroupMe??

Rejected :frowning:

@coloradogal i think there a facebook group chat.

Waitlisted

Waitlisted! I wonder how many students have they waitlisted this year.

@Danny3895 They stated that they had around 400 waitlisted students, and that they’ve previously enrolled anywhere from about 10 to 70 students for the Fall Semester.

@mpa123 they also said that they only accepted 500 students from a pool of 7000… What the **** does that means??? Babson now has an acceptance rate lower than 10%???

7000 applied for a class of 500. I’m guessing they accepted around 2000 students, but they’re only expecting 500 of those accepted students to actually attend in the fall.

I got accepted. International student with IB predicted 43/45 and SAT 1410.

@Roger5301 their yield rate is about 30% if I am nos mistaken, so I would say they accepted around 1500 at most…

My DD got in. I think the major influencing factor for her was taking a somewhat non-traditional route. She attended their class in SF with a visiting cohort of current (all Juniors) and gave a presentation in front of their group. My guess is that she managed to impress the professor and he must have endorsed her!

Does anyone know something about the Weissman Scholarships?

@despacito When you applied for Weissman did you get a confirmation email? Cause I’m getting a little worried that we haven’t heard anything and that I never even got an email once I applied.

Brother accepted.

31 ACT 3.7UW 4.28W he had pretty good ECs and was the only person to apply Babson in my district in a few years. Applied ED.

Can people who got rejected tell me what there UW/W GPA and ACT/SAT was?

1500 acceptances of 7000 applications is still pretty darn selective (about 21%?) I guess all the good colleges received a crazy number of applications this year.

I got in yesterday! :slight_smile: But I can’t attend Babson because no aid was given (they were all loans). :confused: Anyone else in the same boat?

@datboigoes2skl
Yes, after i ve sent my essay, i received an email of confirmation.

@TripleDentGum, how do you know the details of your financial package if you just got in? Did they sand their offer to you together with the acceptance letter? Does Babson have a history of not giving any need-based aid? I have heard otherwise…

Yes, @TripleDentGum, we just checked the profile and we are in the same boat. Loans only.
