Babson is buzzing again as students return to campus. With athletes already back on campus training, incoming first years starting their Babson experience at the end of this week, and upperclassmen returning in a week, campus will soon be back in full swing. As the Class of 2018 embarks on their Babson journey, I caught…
With orientation just two months away, Babson’s Class of 2018 will soon be joining the Babson community. This group of students brings unique qualities and experiences to the campus with its diversity in background, interests, culture and geographic origin. College brings so many new opportunities– academic, social, extracurricular, and beyond – and it is a very…
1460 days. It is hard to believe that this is how long I have been at Babson! It began on a rainy Friday afternoon in April, when I left an Admitted Student Day event and placed down my deposit for my spot in the Class of 2014. Despite the gloomy weather, I had this glowing…
At this point in the admission cycle, we are starting to wrap up our campus events for the academic year. One of our last major events of the spring will be our final Preview Day on Saturday, April 26th. We typically hold these events in both the fall and spring to provide an opportunity for…
Happy Friday! Has anyone else had trouble concentrating today?

Through all of the…
It’s been nearly a week since decisions have gone out and the excitement over the admitted Class of 2018 being selected is still in full force (I think that may have contributed to having lost for the past 3 days-the staff has never seen me so quiet-it’s driving me crazy). Since Sunday we have started…
My final spring semester signifies the slowing of the wheels and transition to what it is to come right after; my last three months of college until the “real life” begins. Overall, my last semester has been a time for me to slow down, reminisce with friends and take the time to enjoy things I…
Here we go. This Sunday at 3:00 EST, Babson College will release Regular Decisions online (accessible through the My Babson portal, so be sure your username and password is ready). Decision Day is always a big deal for us here in the Admission Office-a combination of exciting, rewarding, and more than a little nerve wracking…
As our application review process winds down, our office has been reflecting on the students we’ve met and learned about along the way. While your high school transcript, testing, recommendations, and extracurricular involvement all play big roles in our decision-making process, for many of us, the essay is the highlight – myself included!
