This weekend I checked off one of the items on my bucket list: RUN A HALF MARATHON! It was truly one of the most inspiring events I’ve ever been apart of – 13.1 long miles (and it’s that .1 that really kicks your butt!). Beginning with my pre-race anxiety standing amongst hundreds of people, to…
Last weekend hundreds of admitted Babson College Class of 2017 students were gathered on campus for Basically Babson Day, the main admitted students event at Babson each Spring. I had the opportunity to host prospective Babson students, and came away very impressed by the talented and passionate students that will be entering Babson in September.…
How does that old rhyme go? April showers bring Mayflowers? Well, here at Babson we are hoping the showers are limited in this event-packed April, as we welcome hundreds of students to campus during our four Spring Preview Days and our biggest event of the year – Basically Babson Day. Last Friday marked the first…
Tweet it, Tommaso! A familiar phrase in our office. It doesn’t really matter what we’re talking about, but if we think something should be shared with the public or saved for posterity that’s what we yell at him to do.

Exactly a week ago today – Sunday, March 10th at 3:00 PM (EST), the final round of decisions were posted.

I have officially survived my very first reading season, having read just over 600 applications…
After a high volume school vacation week, the fun rolled over into the weekend as our staff hosted the annual Women’s Overnight Program. Beginning on Saturday afternoon, we welcomed approximately 29 women to campus who interviewed for the Women’s Leadership Scholarship. Women selected for this scholarship have been recognized by our staff for their academic…
It’s January 18-just over 2 weeks since the Regular Decision deadline, and that virtual tidal wave that was incoming application materials, now looks more like a gentle ripple. This was no small feat considering that we surpassed 6,000 applications-a Babson first (Congratulations, applicants for becoming a part of Babson history!) Not to say that we’re completely…
Spring will be here before you know it and many high schools allow juniors the opportunity to take excused absences from school in order to make some of their first college visits, or perhaps you take advantage of weekend visits with your family. Either way, certainly take advantage of any and all opportunities you have…
As January begins to fully unfold in the Office of Undergraduate Admission here at Babson, not only is our staff in the midst of reading Regular Decision applications, but we are also revisiting and reevaluating Early Action Applicants who were deferred to Regular Decision. With the New Year already upon us, I think this is…
