Class of 2010 Admission Decision

<p>Hi guys, i accidently got admitted by Babson College.
I don’t really know about that college? Any other ppl got in and would like to share your opinion about it?</p>

<p>It's a really good business school. #1 for entrepreneurship. And the campus is absolutely GORGEOUS! Definitely the prettiest campus of all the schools I visited.</p>

<p>Yea, i have heard of it. So, you like it?</p>

<p>are you perspective or current student there?</p>

<p>I applied EA and was accepted. It was a tough decision but I ended up deciding not to go. My friend is going there in the fall and she absolutely loves the school. Babson was my second choice.</p>

<p>So, what is your first choice school?</p>

<p>What kind of students go to that school? How are their stats, etc</p>

<p>Boston University is my #1. It was tough btwn Babson and BU but I ultimately chose BU because of it's location & city atmosphere.</p>

<p>Babson, from what I've heard, is full of very wealthy students. It's located in Wellesley, which is a very rich town. I don't know the specifics for the stats but I know that Babson has really excellent professors and their curriculum sounds like a lot of fun. All freshman have to start a business and run it for a semester.</p>

<p>BU is known as the school for very wealthy students and the location is MUCH better than Babson's. bf good choice with bu!</p>

<p>Dunkaroo, why do you always blast Babson? You're constantly on here and I think you've replied to almost every Babson post. Did apply get rejected?</p>

<p>Well it's the nation's top school for entrepreneurship (that's what I wanna do) but its a very TINY school with a 6:4 ratio of guys to girls.. erf lol.. but yea I really like their first year class.. that $3k business project? I think that's pretty cool.. and yea heres my stats..</p>

<p>ACCEPTED!! <-- finally i can say it.. lol</p>

<p>Other Factors:
General Comments: My school is pretty much bs with only about 100 kids that really care about school. I think they waitlisted my app is cause of my Ebay business that I wrote about.</p>

<p>hey, just saw your post on BC's forum. hehe, you got to Babson too! Congrats! me too!!</p>

<p>are you gonna go to babson? i think babson is definitely your safe school.</p>

<p>I don't blast it but if you read a lot of reviews they say the location and workload along with social life is a major detriment to the school. I don't want people to make the mistake of going to a school where they will not enjoy their time.</p>

<p>the location of BU allows for a lot more social opportunities right at one's fingertips.</p>

<p>babson .. hell yayea! lol me and piaoyuelingxing representin!</p>

<p>Dunkaroo, are you in class of 2010? What college are you going?</p>

<p>Penn State University Park here but planning on going somewhere else. Where that maybe I don't know at this moment. Wherever it is it will be an amazing time.</p>

<p>Did you apply for Babson? I am wondering how you noticed that small college.</p>

<p>No, I want a big school. I found Babson to be extremely small and quite isolated, as it is not in Boston. I know some friends and others who went there though.</p>

<p>I was waitlisted, lucky me, and i was deferred from Wharton ED</p>

<p>hmm I don't know much about the school but I heard the kids there are very competitive.. Imma check it out during that overnight thing on the 6-7th in april.. u goin piao?</p>

<p>i am going to be there</p>

<p>woooo dats one :) lol</p>
