Babson EA Class of 2022 Discussion Thread

Hi everyone, I know this might be early by Babson Early Action results come out around mid December. I hope this thread will be useful to future applicants! Please provide your stats, and eventually your decision once they come out!

Chance me for Babson?
African American female
1430 SAT
3.5 UW
3 AP’s senior year
good EC’s
good interview at Babson
700 SAT math level I Subject test
hopefully strong recs

anyone else’s account say they’re still waiting on “1st Quarter Grades or Progress Report”? I’m on a semester system so I don’t have 1st quarter grades. my school doesn’t usually send out progress reports (We don’t have them, just a final grade at the end of the semester) but does this mean I need to ask my counselor to send a screenshot of my grades or something?

I got the same message as my school also isn’t sending semester grades until the beginning of December. I would email Babson directly and ask. They have been very helpful and respond super quickly!

Hey @friendfiend! I was in the same situation as you; I attend a middle college so in addition to not having quarter grades, no one besides myself and my teachers have access to my grades. I told my Babson region representative and she told me to send what I had. With that being said, I literally sat down with my counselor and logged into my Blackboard and he wrote down my grades and sent them to her!

I had same problem! You have to ask your councilor directly to send them. I am not sure if they notify them that they have to be sent. I am in a class of 850 though so she may have just missed the email.

Anyone apply ED?

I applied EA with a 34 ACT, 3.63 GPA, lots of leadership and EC’s. I’m so nervous, Babson is my first choice! Anyone know when decisions for EA come out?

I know decisions usually come out a week after ED results. I think it might be a round the 15th this year but I’m not sure

Just talked to the Admissions office. They haven’t made a decision yet. But, she said that ED should be announced just before the 15th. Worst case, she said early part of the week of 18th. EA should also go out at the same time - at least that’s the plan at this point.

Hey guys. I’m a father of Babson GAP program student of 2021 class. My son will start the school 01.22.18. I just wanted to say “Thank you” for this website and special for this forum.To you guys, I will say “Have a hope and don t gave up”. My son SAT score wasn’t the greatest one and I thought he will not have a chance. But school look at all the facts. One advise for you guys and for future ones. If you think the senior year of high school it’s NOT important and to not have taken AP classes and the grades it’s not necessarily to be high, then you are mistaken.When my son finished junior he was offered 3 AP classes and he said his friends advise him not to take it, because it’s senior year and it’s not important and college’s will not look at that. I totally disagree with that and he took it.Thank you. Babson will look also at 1st quarter and mid year grades.Put your Hart in your Essay too.Very important. That’s all. Good luck to You all !!!

Hey guys, I just submitted my quarterly report grades and was wondering if you thought they would still view my application as an EA app or if they deferred me to RA because I submitted the information too late. Thank you!

Hi, I’m an international student applying for Babson EA. I thought EA decisions would be out by 1/1?

When I called them this week, they said that it will be well before Jan 1. When I asked them whether it could be by mid-December, she replied that it was probably going to be around then. So, I expect this coming Friday or 18th (Monday)

Thanks for the info! @csekar15

I didn’t know it would be coming out early !!!

ED Decisions come out tomorrow, so I’m hoping EA will come out as early as this Thursday/Friday, but the also may come out on the following Monday/Tuesday

Can’t wait!!

We will only receive admission results, not financial results right? I suppose so because financial supporting documents (IDOC) will not be due until Jan 15

Thanks for information. I apply for EA.
Good luck to every one!
