Babson College transfer requirements overview?

I'm planning on transferring to Babson College and want to make sure I meet all the necessary requirements. Can anyone share what specific criteria and materials are needed to transfer there? Any personal experiences would be amazing too!

Sure! Applying to transfer to Babson College involves several steps. Here's a quick overview of the basic requirements:

1. Application Form: Babson uses the Common Application for transfer students. You'll need to fill out this form and the accompanying questions.

2. College Transcript(s): You'll need to provide a transcript from each college or university you've attended, even if it was only briefly. This is one of the most important components of your application, as it demonstrates your academic strength at the collegiate level.

3. Final High School Transcript: Your final high school transcript is also required, unless you have completed an associate degree.

4. College Report: A college report is required from each institution you have attended. The document gives Babson an understanding of your standing at that institution; it should be completed by a college official who has access to your academic and disciplinary records, such as a dean or registrar.

5. Professor Evaluation: You must submit at least one letter of recommendation, although you are welcome to submit more than one if you wish, from a college professor.

6. Course Descriptions: In certain cases, you may also be asked to provide descriptions or syllabi for the courses you’ve taken.

As far as testing goes, Babson does not require SAT, ACT, or English proficiency scores for transfer applications.

Also, note that Babson generally prefers students looking to transfer who have completed at least one semester, but no more than four semesters, of full-time academic coursework. However, you may apply with up to 60 transferrable credits. A GPA of around 3.0 or above can be considered competitive, but this can vary based on the strength of the overall applicant pool.

Lastly, it's important to research how your credits may transfer over to Babson to ensure as many of your credits as possible will count towards your degree. You should reach out to Babson's transfer advisor for the most precise information regarding your specific courses. Also, they don’t have specific courses you need to have completed before you apply, but students that have coursework in calculus, microeconomics, and macroeconomics may strengthen their application.

Good luck with your transfer application!
