I'm considering Babson College for regular decision, but I'm unsure when the application opens and when it's due. Any advice on how their timeline compares to EA? Thanks for any details you can provide.
Babson College's regular decision application opens on the Common App on August 1, along with most other colleges. The deadline for submission is generally around January 2. When it comes to timeline comparison with Early Action (EA), it differs principally in the deadline and the date when you receive your decision.
For Babson College, the EA deadline is November 1. Early Action applicants tend to receive their decisions by mid-January.
On the other hand, if you apply by the regular decision deadline of January 2, you'll typically hear back from the college with a decision by mid-March.
Remember, regardless of the timeline you choose, it's beneficial to start your application as early as possible. This allows ample time for revisions and perfecting your essays. Additionally, if you're considering Regular Decision, you get the perk of having more time to refine your application compared to the Early Action timeline. It also gives you the flexibility to compare offers from different schools before you make your final decision.
