What's included in Babson College's transfer application?

I'm preparing my transfer application for Babson College and want to ensure I meet all the requirements. Can anyone share what materials or information are typically needed when applying as a transfer student there?

Sure, when applying to Babson College as a transfer student, you will need to complete and submit several documents. Here's a list of the required materials:

1. The Babson Common Application Supplement: You need to fill this out as it contains specific questions for transfer students, including your reason for transferring and what you hope to achieve at Babson.

2. Official Transcripts: You should submit official college transcripts from each institution you've attended, even if it's for just one course. An official high school transcript or GED also needs to be included.

3. College Official's Report: Get this from an official at your current institution, usually a dean or academic advisor. It is used to verify your academic and social standing at your previous college.

4. A Letter of Recommendation: One academic letter of recommendation is required, typically from a professor who can speak about your performance in an academic setting.

5. Mid-Semester Report: This form should be sent by your college when they release grade reports. It helps Babson see your current or most recent grades.

6. Course Descriptions or Syllabi: Babson uses these to evaluate your previous coursework for transfer credit. They're often found in your college's course catalogue or on their website.

7. Valid Standardized Test Scores: If you've taken the SAT or ACT, you have the option to submit these scores, but they are not required.

8. English Proficiency Test: If English isn't your first language, or if you haven't spent at least 4 years in a high school where English is the primary language of instruction, you'll need to submit TOEFL, IELTS, Pearson’s PTE, or Duolingo scores.

Remember that each of these components play an important role in your application so it's crucial to dedicate adequate time to each one, especially your Babson supplement. Good luck with your application!
