Admissions Overview

Babson College is selective with a 22.35% acceptance rate. This means roughly one in five applicants gets admitted, making it competitive but not impossibly so. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 1350-1510 on the SAT, with an average of 1430. Students need strong academic credentials to be considered. The college seeks entrepreneurially minded students who want to launch real businesses as undergraduates. Admissions looks for applicants with leadership experience, creative problem-solving skills, and genuine interest in starting ventures. Since every student must create an actual company during their first year, the school values initiative and business acumen over just high test scores.
