what are my chances of getting in the Babson?

By Babsonstudent (Babsonstudent) on Saturday, March 06, 2004 - 05:26 pm: Edit

Soccer team is decent, it's very active, all the soccer players are pretty tight knit.

Hockeyguy, I'd say 60 to 70% chance of getting in. You are active in a lot of things which is good. I'd reccomend visiting the school first to see if you are really interested.

In terms of cirriculumn, first two yrs are very intense, the first semester is hard, because the workload will be a huge adjustment.
The school has it's own culture, it'll be significantly different then any other school, so you'll have to decide if the difference is a good thing or a bad thing.

If you see college as a preparation for career goals, it's an excellent choice, though be prepared to make sacrifices.

If you are looking for the "college experience," it'll be a vastly different experience is all I can say.
