Hi,
I was just deferred with a 32 ACT and 3.85 GPA weighted. Does anyone what percent of deferrals are accepted in the reular decision round?
Bump. I got deferred with a 31 ACT and 3.6 UW GPA in ED. Also curious.
@DrummerGenius mind sharing your W GPA? That seems strange because on the babson website your ACT and GPA seem to be above average.
My school does not do weighted GPA. I go to an academically rigorous (gifted) school, where AP classes would be considered the norm. I posted a chance me thread with all of my stats. I had a good interview, and attending the preview day. We did a mock version of FME, and I was the only one in my group of 30-ish that presented. My interviewer was present.
I think I was deferred because I don’t have anything business or entrepreneurial on my resume. I thought that I was going to do something public service related until my sophomore year. My small school doesn’t offer anything like DECA, and there was no interest in starting a DECA club. I was also sick and in and out of hospitals for three years. This caused me to miss a lot of school, which I mentioned in my common app additional information. There are a lot of reasons I could’ve been deferred. I just applied EDII to Brandeis, which after exploring more, seems like it would be a better fit for me socially and academically.
When do the results for deferred applicants come out?
PM me if you want to go to Babson and don’t know what to do over the summer. A 3.6UW and a 31 on the ACT should be good enough in terms of stats for most people, but you need summer business programs. I can help people out.
@Jack1212, You’re a high school senior too, aren’t you? If you know of good summer programs, why don’t you just list them here?
