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! This is…
Personally and professionally, March is one of my favorite times of the year. In our office, we are currently finalizing admission decisions and getting ready to release them this coming Sunday, March 9th.

It’s no secret that admission counselors are deep into application reading at this point. Just like everything else, everyone has their own way to get things done. Most people in our office play music in the background while they read, so I figured I would give everyone a sampling of what our staff listens to…
Now into the third week of classes, students are already back in the swing of things, fully rested from a relaxing winter break! After talking with students about their upcoming courses for this semester, I learned about a unique opportunity offered every spring known as Senior-Led Seminars. Classes taught for students, by students? Exactly. Made…
It’s too late for me to say Happy New Year, but in the time since I last posted anything, I think most of the holidays on this list have passed, so happy everything. I’m sorry about that, but, if we can all get past this, I do have a very important blog to post…the latest…
Hello, everyone! My name is Ellen Zatkowski and I am an Admission Counselor here in the Undergraduate Admission office at Babson. I have been a member of the Babson community since I graduated from Boston College in 2012 with a major in History and a minor in French. During my undergraduate career at BC, I…
As you may have heard, much of the United States has been dealing with some wild weather recently. I realize that because of this, many prospective students may have missed Babson’s January 3rd application deadline. For this reason, we’re extending our application deadline until January 15, 2014 in order to give you more time to…
