Hi, I’m a junior and Babson is my dream school. I go to a hard Catholic high school but have a low GPA bc of Sophomore year first semester.
GPA uw: 3.8 w: 3.9
I got a 4.0 freshman year, 3.4 sophomore year and a C- in honors geometry first semester. Should I retake this class even if it doesn’t change gpa? 3.9 uw junior year but no honors classes. Is weighted though because school weighs GPA if we do Model UN and CMS.
Taking 3 AP classes next year. Have taken no AP classes yet because did not get into any.
EC:
Model United Nations
Earth week leader
Award winner Garavanta essay contest
Silver key in scholastic writing contest
Earth club member
Variety cross country
Founding member of 8th grade counseling program at school
Anyways do I have any chance to get in with low stats? Have not taken SAT yet.
I don’[t think Babson is a match for your stats.
Suggest a less selective Business school to look at.
Did you get accepted or is this for next year?
I got in with way worse grades than you (3.4 gpa?) a 1510 on SAT, and a REALLY good application video. The main reason I got in was the video. So you got a shot.
I wouldn’t call a 3.8 uw GPA low.
I can’t chance you but have some questions:
Are you a rising senior?
When are you taking the ACT or SAT?
Will you have 4 years each of E/SS/Sci/M/FL? Taking pre-calc sr year?
Are you applying EDI/II or EA or RD?
Babson will be a reach even if you score at or above the 75% mark on the SAT. Rigor is probably on the light side (no Honors jr year, not sure about f/soph), but 3 APs senior year will help…ECs seem light too.
Make sure to have a handful of target schools and a safety or two that are affordable to round out your list. Good luck.
