Spring Transfers: Question, concerns, statistics

<p>Hey all (whom I hope most are Babson students or alumni),</p>

<p>I’m currently a student at the University of Texas at Austin. I applied to UT as a senior not really sure of what I wanted to study, but very interested in the growing technology industry, startups, and coding. I’ve since switched from a BS in Electrical Engineering to a BJournalism, but it’s been long road marked by a lot of entrepreneurial involvement at UT and in Austin. </p>

<p>I’ve found Babson as some who’s come to the conclusion that entrepreneurship is in my blood, and that whatever I study here on out will have some tie to entrepreneurship (as everything I have studies previously already has). Therefore, I’m applying to Babson as a spring transfer and have some question before I make everything final.</p>

<p>First, I want to know if anyone knows anything about the acceptance rates for spring transfers? My current GPA is ~3.45 and that’s with around 26 hours of engineering and liberal arts classes. I expect this semester to result in mostly A’s and definitely high B’s. I’ve also started one business (<a href=“http://www.DogeFact.com”>www.DogeFact.com</a> - however small it is, it is profitable!) and am in the process of starting another through a startup contest at UT, and have been heavily involved with entrepreneurship through clubs at UT.</p>

<p>Note: I’m not sure about those who applied as first-years, but I have to pick my two concentrations in my Commmon App.</p>

<p>Second, does picking a certain concentration have any effect on my chances at being accepted? In other words, are concentrations selective like majors? From Babson’s website’s description, it looks not, but I want to check.</p>

<p>Third, what are your opinions on the different concentrations Babson offers? The most interesting to me look like Global and Regional Studies, International Business Environment, Technology, Entrepreneurship, and Design, and Entrepreneurship. Does a concentration in Entrepreneurship even make sense?</p>

<p>I’ve read up on all of these already, so what I’m really looking for is the student perspective. Thanks!</p>
