<p>Did anyone apply as transfer for 2008 Fall?</p>
<p>I did. I was accepted today</p>
<p>Can you post your stats?</p>
<p>EC's, GPA, HS, SAT, Essay Strength... etc</p>
<p>How were you notified?</p>
<p>I was notified online. You can view the decision on your "My Babson" account. My stats aren't the greatest:</p>
<p>3.96: College GPA (University of South Carolina)
3.66: High School GPA (Unweighted, 4.1 weighted)
1890 SAT
Tons of EC's, President of student body, newspaper director, lots of community service, etc.
My essay was pretty strong. It mostly described my business instinct, including several business ventures I have had in the past.
I also had pretty strong recs, both from my professors and employers. I included a copy of my resume (quite extensive) which I thought really helped.</p>
<p>Were in the My Babson account will you see the decision ?</p>
<p>As soon as you log in, it should tell you all the application requirements and stuff that you're either missing or have submitted. At the bottom of that box, there should be a link that says "Decision Timetable" or a time for when your decision will be posted online. Mine may have been ready ahead of schedule because I applied back in Feb.</p>
<p>pcristiani, you applied to NYU as well, right? Have you made your decision yet?</p>
<p>I was denied at NYU</p>
<p>Bummer, me too. they were my first choice, but Babson was my second so I'm not too bummed.</p>
<p>I applied too, they'll let me know today. Babson is my first choice so I hope that I get accepted with good FA.</p>
<p>RvB, best of luck to you. I really liked Babson better than NYU, but you can't beat New York City! My FA was awesome, almost 99% and no big loans either (stafford $3,500). You should know around 12 today though so keep us posted.</p>
<p>yup... I should know in about 20 minutes</p>
<p>I went back to read my Babson essay and I think it was pretty average... :(</p>
<p>I was just too overwhelmed at that time with essays and forms.. blahh</p>
<p>Don't worry pcristiani, my essay was pretty bland too. I was concentrating on so many things at the time, I didn't put too much emphasis in it.</p>
<p>rejected... 10 charr</p>
<p>Man, that really sucks. I went through this same process as a senior in high school and it really bites. Do you have any other back-ups?</p>
<p>Rvb, did you find out yet?</p>
<p>Ack! I got wait-listed. Good news is I got on the waiting list less than 1 minute after the decisions came out :-). I'm not sure if I will get a call. If not, then I'm still waiting to hear back from Villanova. If that doesn't work, then I'm attending the University of Tampa.</p>
<p>Yeah, I got wait-listed when I applied in high school. I hear good things about Villanova though. At least if you go to the University of Tampa it'll be warm!</p>
