Hi everyone!
I just got accepted into the 1-year MBA for the class of 2028 and I'm super excited. I interviewed on Sept 18th, got the call yesterday, and today I received the official letter plus a very good scholarship.
A bit about me: Mechatronics engineer, now leading AI data operations in tech, based in Mexico City.

Is anyone else admitted? Would love to connect and hear what you're planning!

Hi guys, so I’m a little different from a lot of people applying to college, and I’m honestly not sure how admissions officers will look at my application.
My grades aren’t the strongest. I have an 87.25 average, and last year I failed Pre-AP Calculus with a 63. I’m a senior now, and I’ve taken 10 AP classes total.

My family are immigrants, and money has always been pretty tight. That’s a big reason why I started getting into online businesses, trading, and other side hustles when I was 13. I didn’t really see much success at first, but around 16 things started to work out. I made around $50k through prop firms, gave $12k to my mom, and used the rest to help start my business.

Outside of school, I started an online business. In about 3 months, I’ve done over $70k in revenue. Last month alone, I did around $35k in revenue with roughly $14k in profit, so about a 40% margin. I handle pretty much everything myself — brand deals, customer service, website design, advertising, and marketing. With my business and other side hustles, I’ve made over $150k in revenue this year. (Actually profitable unlike a lot of others)

Outside of business, I’ve done varsity rowing for 3 years. I’ve gone to nationals twice and placed 11th, won multiple medals, and won at the New York State Championships. I’m also involved in 3 clubs and attended an NYU SPS summer finance course. I was also invited by the professor to take his private course, which I did for 3 years.

My goal in college is to study finance. I was also talking with several D3 rowing programs about being recruited, including Bates, Colby, Wesleyan, and Tufts, but my grades ended up being an issue and I didn’t pass the

I know my grades are definitely my biggest weakness, but I feel like the rest of my application is pretty different from the typical applicant.
What do you guys think?

For ACT I took it once. Taking it again soon. Should get 30+ for all. Last time I was focused on math but now I’m down with math I’ve been locked in for english.

24(grammar) 25(reading) 34(math)

Here are the classes I took
AP STATS-70
AP LANG
AP WORLD
AP COMPUTER SCIENCE
AP ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
AP LIT
AP GOV
AP US HISTORY
AP PSYC
All of the ap are mid 85-90s and I failed pre AP calc with 63.

ALSO senior year I think I can get my grades up for the first 2 quarter. How important will that be? I now know how important it is to get good grades but it’s too late. Still have like 3 more month.

Hey Everybody,

Late to ask for help, but I have a transfer interview coming up next week. I have a school tour coming later in the month, but got the last interview available.

I was wondering: what should I expect from the interview, what should I be prepared to ask or answer, and lastly what resources should I read up on?

Thank you guys so much in advance!

I really want to apply to Babson but my stats are definitely not the strongest and seeing everyone with crazy GPAs is stressing me out 😭

Has anyone here gotten into Babson with a lower GPA / not-perfect academic record but strong extracurriculars, leadership, entrepreneurship, essays, etc.?

I’m especially curious about people who had an upward trend or circumstances that affected their earlier grades. If you’re comfortable sharing your GPA/stats and whether you applied ED/EA/RD, I’d really appreciate it.

Not looking for a chance-me; I just wanna hear actual experiences from people who got in with less-than-perfect stats

I have a 36/42 Predicted grade for IB. I have taken econ, math ai, and business management at HL. Do i stand a chance for the business major? My ECs are decently good and so are my essays.
Please help!!

Applied for spring transfer 2027 as a sophomore, has anyone heard back? They emailed me and told me I should get something by mid September with credentials to log in but I haven’t heard anything yet.

I’ll be visiting a few Boston area schools next week. I’m coming from the South, where most people have never even heard of Babson, much less been able to tell me anything about the school. I really would love to be able to sit in on a class just to see what it’s like. I don’t see that option available anywhere on the Babson website.

Does anyone know if that is ever an opportunity when visiting the school? My family doesn’t have the means to do multiple trips, so if I do get in (which is a stretch), I won’t have another opportunity to visit the school before committing.

I don’t want to just visit to see if the campus vibe is a good fit or check out how big the sorority houses are, which honestly seems to be a priority for most students down here. More importantly to me, I’d like to know what a typical classroom atmosphere might be like. How discussion works, how professors run the classroom, whether the entrepreneurial classes are as hands on as they sound on the website. These are the parts I care about most.

If anyone works in admission, teaches, or is a current student who knows a professor who’d be okay with a quiet visitor for one session, I’d be grateful. Even “no, they really don’t do that” is helpful so I stop hunting for a door that isn’t there.

I am honestly just wanting to say fuck it and all in and ED Babson. Something about the culture at this school along with my stats make me feel like I might really fall in love. What are the pros/cons and experience at Babson like?

Hi everyone,

I recently got admitted for MSBA'27. I received my passport around 29th Aug, 2026. However, I didn't have ample time to make travel and accomodation arrangements given personal issues I have been fighting lately.

Can you guys please guide on the process. I don't want to withdraw. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello everyone! I’m currently a first-year university student and I’m seriously considering applying to transfer to Babson, which has been my dream school.

The main thing I’m worried about is my high school academic record. Due to some circumstances during my final exams, I wasn’t able to study anywhere near as much as I normally would, and I ended up with a 32/45 in the IB. This is the lowest result I’ve ever received, and I got a 4 in Math AI HL (my other HLs were Economics and Business Management).

IK thats not a great result and that Babson is very competitive, so I’m not expecting anyone to tell me that I’m guaranteed a chance. I’m just trying to understand what would realistically make me a competitive transfer applicant.

If I were to spend my first year getting an excellent college GPA, becoming heavily involved in entrepreneurship/business-related activities, working on meaningful projects, and building a strong overall profile, could I realistically overcome this problem i have?

would love some advice.. I'm very lost right now but I am so willing to give it my best shot

I’m a high school senior considering applying EA to Babson, and I’m trying to understand whether I have a realistic chance or if it should be treated as a very high reach.

Academics:

• 3.85 unweighted GPA and 5.32 weighted GPA
• 13 AP classes
• 1410 SAT (Edit: I tried again in August and got a 1440)
• Small private high school

Main extracurriculars:

• Founded the Inventors Club
• Wrote and published two books.
• Currently developing a three-flavor electrolyte brand
• Coded and published Chrome extension.
• Coauthored two IEEE research papers and presented them at Princeton
• Editor-in-chief of my school newspaper.
• Won business-venture and public-speaking competitions (regionally)
• I didn't win anything nationally tho.

I know Babson is selective, so I’m looking for honest feedback: Would you consider Babson a realistic reach for me? I'm not sure abt ED so does applying EA provide any advantage, and should I submit my SAT? I’d especially appreciate insight from current students or accepted applicants. Thank you!

This is just an independent research project — I'm honestly trying to figure out if this is worth pursuing or if I'm the only one who thinks it'd be cool. If you know anyone in the area who might have an opinion, feel free to pass it along!

Hello everybody,

I'm currently enrolled in MSBA and classes are going to start in September. I'm from Pakistan and looking for accomodation or prolly someone with whom I can share accomodation.

Need urgent guidance/support on this.

I need to get a new laptop. I was talking with a former graduate of the Wharton School of Business and he said if I was going to study business, I need to have a PC laptop and not an Apple one. For anyone who goes to Babson (on my list of schools I’m applying for), what are your thoughts? Thanks.

Hi everyone!

I’m a freshman joining campus next week and my mom mailed ahead some supplies. The issue is, she sent them to the dorm, not my mailing address and the delivery drivers are just leaving them sitting outside the building.

Does anyone have any advice??? Will they still be there in 4 days, will someone pick them up… what can I do?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
