How to best appeal to Babson College?
Answered

This might be one of my dream schools. I plan on visiting it during the summer, doesn't look so pretty but it is considered one of the best schools in the US for my intended major, entrepreneurship. I definitely need to get a better idea of the campus scene before I commit too much to one college. Currently, CV chancer says I have a 66% of admission, but I really want to have this almost guaranteed as an option when deciding which college to attend.

It's too late to change certain things like extracurriculars/grades, so I would like to know specifically which factors Babson looks at the most, and the qualities it looks for in the ideal candidate. I know being entrepreneurial is certainly important, and I'm working on that as well as holding more leadership positions/playing a bigger role in my extracurricular clubs.

Besides entrepreneurship, Babson values students who have a commitment to sustainability and can think outside the box through innovation. Demonstrating that you are intellectually well-rounded and enjoy interdisciplinary learning can also help.
