Easily get into all 3 babson has a low acceptance rate but it isn’t really that hard to get into. Most people I know who got in got As and Bs and like A 29 or better ACT.
You will also get pretty big scholarships full or half rides from each schools. You are a really good student and it sucks you may not be able to go to your top choice because of money (Not sure what your top choice is or was just assuming you picked colleges you think you can get scholarships from)
I agree. Great chances of getting accepted. Congrats on all the hard work you put in. It is going to pay off when you get accepted to a top notch school.
Your schools generally fall into the “selective” to “more selective” range and should not present significant admissions difficulty for you. Hamilton would be the exception (“most selective”), but would definitely be worth an app, particularly when considered in terms of your outstanding SAT score.
That said, the available curricula at your colleges of interest appear quite heterogeneous. So as you proceed, look into this closely on a school-by-school basis.
Do these colleges have the choice to not submit ACT?
My goal is to double major in finance and entrepreneurship in Babson, Bentley, or BYU. I want to start as an ib analyst, private equity analyst, or high-paying sales rep. I want to end up saving enough liquid money to start my own franchise. I feel like all these colleges are prestigious and give a good education. The reason why I am capping myself to 20k is because my brother had better grades (17 AP’s and better EC’s including National Merit). He applied to Wake Forest and they put the final price at 35k per year. He ended up going to Chapel Hill. It’s a wonderful school, especially for biology, but it’s not private.
Also, financial isn’t the problem. I just want to go to a school where I won’t think about how much money my parents are paying for me on a constant basis. That’s why NOTRE DAME AND NYU ARE RULED OUT
Access the Net Price Calculators for all of your schools of interest.
Based on your stated interests, Hamilton’s curriculum would not appear to be optimal for you, though the school would be notable for pre-MBA preparation:
One last question:
I actually had 4 B’a in high school, I just remembered. 3 AP B’s one Regular Class (Latin 2). Everything else including the 12 other AP’s were A’s. Would my chance to get into these schools hold true and does the NPC Calculator hold true. Babson is saying my final price without loans would 19K, but most people say that Babson isn’t that emeritus with finaid
Bentley and Babson are probably some of the best small schools for business. I would think you would get a ton of money from Bentley and Babson. if you think you want to get an MBA then definitely choose Bentley it’s still a top school with an amazing reputation and if you can go for free then definitely go to Bentley if they offer you the space scholarship go to Babson.
Again: Although Babson and Bentley are very selective (Babson having around a 25 percent admit rate) Babson is still relativity “easy” to get into as having basically all As and Bs and like a 29 or 30 ACT is really all you need to get admitted. Apply ED to Babson with those stats will pretty much guarantee admission.
IMO Babson or Bentley would be best fit for you as NYU most likely won’t be able to give you money as you are normal NYU Stern student in terms of grades/scores I believe.
Babson is probably a little bit better anyway if you prefer a small school Stern and Babson are probably going to provide equally amazing educations, it’s really preference.
You are in a great position man, it’s not if you will get in, it’s how much money the school will give you haha.
