Babson College - Is it right for me?

I’m not sure if this school is right for me. I’m not trying to brag in this thread or anything. I’m trying to see if this is the school that I want to go to.

I’ve made money online, and sold a website for five figures at the age of 16.

I’m a businessman/marketer. I work with programmers, and I know how to raise money if I need it.

I feel that I should get into computer science/programming, since this is currently my main weakness (even though it’s hard but I think it will be more beneficial for me). I don’t feel it’s necessary to go to school to learn business. But I don’t mind going to learn about legalities, proper accounting, etc.

I know about managing employees already, this is stuff that I read on my own.

Any advice? I also don’t want to start a business after college; I don’t see it as a way of getting me to my end goal; of becoming wealthy. I think I will do this automatically after getting a job and then leaving and starting my own company.

Also I don’t like the idea of $3000, and then doing a business… I don’t really feel like competing against other people in selling “products”. like USB drives/ and pens…

My next project is a mobile advertising network, and I prefer trying to sell ad space to advertisers, etc. already have $25k committed from investors…

I didn’t get any scholarship, probably my academics is not good enough.

Any advice?
Thanks
