Babson College Regular Decision Class of 2021

@tula32 Sigh. Well getting in alone is a big accomplishment we should be proud of. :slight_smile: are you going to go to babson, even with just loans?

Iā€™m the parentā€¦ no, it is really unrealistic to ever pay 280k in loans. No degree is worth this IMHO. They calculated this based on the 2015 tax return, but things changed pretty dramatically for us since.
My DD was thinking of getting a deferral, and trying to ask for aid again based on 2016 taxes. But this is a huge risk.

Parent here. My DD was accepted which we are very proud of just getting into Babson. We will most likely decline the offer. Almost every school we applied for offered substantial merit aid. Babson offered none. Congrats to everyone who got in and everyone else who will be going to other great schools. I wish this could have worked out here.

Just wanted to state, my brother was accepted with a 31 ACT 3.7UW and a 4.28W (Basically a little above average) he had really good ECs but he did NOT request any aid.

Guys, I am an international student and I got in with supposedly full financial aid. They are giving me around $72,500 in aid. Babson is a great school! It remains unmatched in business and entrepreneurship - not even the ivy league schools.

@identification Can you please share your stats

Hi!
I m an international applicant and I have been waitlisted. Am I supposed to receive any letter at home?
By the way, I replied to the waitlist form and I also emailed the admissions office and my admissions counselor. Now I want to send them a hand-written letter. What do you think?
I really want to attend Babson!

@crazydonuts I didnā€™t have very high grades. SAT - 1420/18 essay. Pretty sure my ECā€™s, recs and essays got me in - not the scores.
@despacito I have received an acceptance package in mail a few days earlier. Maybe wait for some time before you send in anything. By May, Babson will know who will enrol and who wonā€™t. then, theyā€™ll start reviewing waitlisted candidates. So, I think itā€™s better if you send in your materials by Mid May.

@despacito Hey! I have been waitlisted too and really want to attend the college as well. (International student here). However, Babson didnā€™t take any students last year from wait list so please donā€™t keep high hopes.

Does anyone knows when do they send the decisions for the GAP program?

they already sent them a while ago
