We in admissions like to provide soft and hard data about the life of a student in our programs. The hard data, for example, is all about number of courses and credits per semester, number of faculty, faculty/student ratio, the cost of housing, FAQ’s. The soft comes to you in the narratives we tell about why…
Short and sweet this week, with new student Welcome Day and so many other activities going on. The recent USNWR rankings came out, as you well know, which gave me momentary pause for reflection, among other things. We at Babson are currently enrolling students into the Evening MBA summer term, working with Evening candidates…
Commitment. That is what every MBA admissions office wants at this time of year. Your commitment. It’s not like we’ve been casually dating, but let’s face it, we have been building a relationship, right?

Regardless of the fact that many of us have not been governed by a school calendar for a very long time, we still behave as if we do. Who doesn’t yearn for new pencils and a black marbled composition book in September? Don’t you itch to clean your desk in late June and leave for…
Welcome to Welcome Day! Many of you who have recently received notice that you have been admitted to Babson (congrats!) have also received an invitation to our New Student Welcome Day on February 29. Candidates sometimes call us confused about what to expect at Welcome Day, who to expect, and whether it is mandatory to…

We in the Admissions Office are really in the thick of it—another application deadline this week (February 15), admissions committee meetings (just finished another round of decisions), and Welcome Day Events for new admits—all on the calendar. I’m…
