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
• Small private high school

Main extracurriculars:

• Founded my school’s first student-led club and have helped over 90 K–6 students create prototypes, logbooks, and displays for an invention competition
• Wrote and published two books, selling over 200 copies across the U.S., Canada, and South Africa
• Currently developing a three-flavor electrolyte brand
• Coded and published a Chrome extension.
• Coauthored two IEEE research papers and presented them at Princeton
• Editor-in-chief of my school newspaper since ninth grade.
• Won business-venture and public-speaking competitions

I know Babson is selective and that strong extracurriculars don’t replace academics, 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!

Hey all — I'm a college student in Boston looking into whether there's real interest in a padel club (kind of a mix of tennis and squash, huge in Europe and blowing up in the US right now) somewhere in the area.

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!

Are students allowed to use all types of detergent- like pods and detergent sheets (these are not dryer sheets) in the dorms? I want to make it easy for my kid but I’ve heard some colleges do not allow pods or detergent sheets.

Hi guys, I'm an incoming freshman and I have no clue if I need to actually need to buy the textbooks from the link my professor gave or if there are any free editions available online...

The one in question is "The Legal and Ethical Environment of Business: An Integrated Approach, Fourth Edition" by:

• Gerald R. Ferrera
• Mystica M. Alexander
• Cheryl Kirschner
• William P. Wiggins
• Jonathan J. Darrow

As an incoming freshman, i wanted to know of there are ny positions in orgs like the SGA or CAB where i can get roles of responsiblities in my freshman year itself, and if so then how can i apply or prepapre myself?

Also how difficult and selective is it as a freshman to get into clubs like the finance association and the debate club?

hi all, im an exchange student coming in Jan 2027, wondering how the dorms are like ( single room preferably) and if there are any short term apartments preferably to lease until May 2027. How is the parking and driving situation too? Also if there’s anything to take note of eg the weather/ meal plans.

Could sumn list down the personal documents that i may require or need to bring to college as an incoming freshman.

Also, if it helps im an indian interntaional student however am a us passport holder/citizen.

Could someone break down the cost of living as a babson student who has a dorm and meal plan. What is the average you spend on a day/night out or going to the city and how often do you go?

How much should I budget for every month?

Have they started already, i went to the common app page and Babson wasn't there. Can anyone tell me the date they open. Thank you

Hey. I am considering doing one of the masters degrees at babson likeyl the entrepreneurship mba.(but also thinking about msba and their msel degrees)

Background:

37 male

Location: The Netherlands

Hughest education: Engineering Doctorate in software engineering from Eindhoven university of technology

12 years of experience working in the Netherlands(not born here)

Job: Software engineer

Companies worked at: Philips, Asml

Gmat/Gre: None

Rationale for doing another masters: i want to live and work in the USA. I want to leave the Netherlands.

I had a few questions for the community.

1. What would be the cost of living for my stay ?

I know masters students cant get student housing. So i would have to get my own apartment. I dont like sharing a room with someone else so that would be very expensive.

Chatgpt says I would need 40k to 60k usd per year only for my living expenses.

1. Is there any way to fund my living expenses from the university? Either by working as a teaching assistant or some similar job thats allowed on my student visa as an international.

2. What are the odds of me getting a scholarship for my profile?(how much would it likely cover?)

3. Whats the dating life like ? I am 37 and if i get into the program I would be 38. Dating is currently an important part of my life due to me growing old.

Would i have issues dating as a 37 year old international student ?

This is what one of the bigger triples in south looks like

Babson is currently my dream school and I believe I have enough extracurriculars even though my gpa is failing. What are my chances of getting into babson with extremely high demonstrated interest, 3.0 GPA, no test scores submitted, 4 APs, 4 years varsity golf, 2 years business professionals of America , applying to early desicion, 2 part time jobs , amazing essay and good letters of recommendations from a college professor and an internship in a real estate firm. I am a female and first gen. If anyone knows any way of me increasing my chances please let me know
