 Admission Process Thank you for your interest in applying to Babson College. We realize that the application process can seem overwhelming at times and we do our best to simplify the process for our applicants.
To begin, all students should set up a My Babson account, your on-line application management portal. Your account will not only allow you to keep track of your application credentials but will ensure that you receive important announcements from the admission office during the process. Create your My Babson Account.
Additionally, Babson is an exclusive user of the Common Application and we encourage you to apply on-line, the easiest way to submit your application.
The Office of Undergraduate Admission is here to guide you through this application process. The information provided below should give you a sense of our applicant pool, review process, and more. If you can’t find what you’re looking for on this web site, please contact us at any point in the process if we can be of assistance.
Evaluation Criteria The admission process at Babson is highly competitive. For the Class of 2012, we received 4,318 applications and admitted 35% of them. On average, admitted students had high school grades of A-/B+, ranked in the Top 10-15% of their classes, and earned SAT scores from 1810-2090 (this range represents the middle 50% range of admitted students’ averages).
At Babson, we take pride in our extensive and holistic evaluation of all applications for admission. While the greatest focus is placed on a students’ four-year performance at the secondary level, the following factors are carefully considered in our evaluation process:
Interviews with an admission counselor or student admission intern are available but not required; interviews are evaluative and candidates’ written evaluations will be added to their files for use in the selection process.
The academic environment at Babson is a rigorous one, and we look for students who have best prepared themselves for success at the college level. Most admitted students have carried 4-5 courses per year in the five major academic subject areas: English, mathematics, social science, laboratory science, and foreign language. Additionally, because students take Quantitative Methods with Calculus in their first year Babson, we highly recommend pursuing math through pre-calculus, at a minimum. Admitted students without this course will be required to complete it before enrolling.
