Hello,
I’m thinking about applying for the Weissman scholarship at Babson, but I’m wondering if anyone knows anyone who has applied for this scholarship and how their results turned out. Any info would be great!
Thanks
Same!
awesome! do you have any idea what type of hook you’ll go for? anything that you think stands out about you?
Also, how are test scores and everything else?
When you guys applied for the scholarship did you get a conformation email?
No, no email. I called to make sure mine was in and it was. They said there is no email
I have already heard back and have been invited to Scholars weekend.
Hm, called and they didn’t mention that.
Aren’t invitations supposed to come with our decision?
@Blakealysa What is Scholars weekend? Does that mean if we haven’t heard back we didn’t get it? Does anyone else know anything about how/when we hear back? The website is super unhelpful.
@Blakealysa Congrats! does that mean you officially get in to as a weissman scholar? Is there an interview during the selection process? if you dont mind, can you share your stats?
@Maggie1224 @datboigoes2skl I got into babson early action and was named a presidental scholar. then i applied for the weissman and am going to scholars weekend in april. its the weekend where they interview the weissman candidates to see who will get the scholarship, so I havent gotten it yet.
Not sure if they have contacted all of the finalists yet! Good luck to those who applied!!
stats:
act 33
gpa: 4.5
9 APs.
essays: pretty darn good (the admissions office wrote me a letter about one of my supplements)
hope this helps!
@Blakealysa thank you so much for the info! I’m also EA-admitted and I also got a hand-written card from the admission officer, but mine is about extracurriculars.
I emailed the admission office and they told me that they will notify students through email by 4.1. Congrats on your presidential scholarship and are you told as a weissman finalist to interview on the scholars weekend, or you’ll just go as a presidential scholar?
I’m an international student from China, not sure whether they would really give international students full-tuition award( though the website says they do)…and not sure whether I would be invited to the scholars weekend since I need to fly from HK to Boston if they concern about students’ convenience. But one of my classmate is named a finalist of Notre Dame U and went to their interview to see whether she can get the dull-tuition one, but the interview is held in Beijing.
Thank you for the information. I have almost identical stats and also got a note about one of my supplements haha.(also got int EA) Tbh was kind of expecting the presidential and didn’t get it so weissman is my last hope. Oh well. I’ve pretty much moved on. Good luck with your interview!!!
@maggie1224 I will be going as a weissmen finalist to interview. I hope you’ll get a chance to interview!
just got the email, nope
