Babson MBA -- any acceptances

[nat101]

Hey,
I am just wondering if anyone has applied to Babson College for their mba. If so, has anyone heard from the admissions committee as yet??

Babson is my top choice—I applied to the program in the second round and am pretty nervous …
Although I have 4 years of stellar work experience, my Gmat score of 640 is rather low.

Anybody have any ideas what my chances are??

Thanks.

hey Myfriends6,
Congrats on your admit to babson.
can you pls enlighten upon wht to possibly expect for the interviews.. the nature of questions, etc..

Also pls share your profile..!!

[myfriends6]

My profile:

GMAT: 730 balanced
TOEFL: 117 balanced
Workex: 3 years - primarily sales-marketing; presently in an edupreneurial firm, again with a focus on marketing
ECAs: superb
Essays: superb

Interview : Babson student; this was very conversational, nothing extraordinary. Strengths, weaknesses, success, failure and all. I felt that they were trying to see how well I communicated, and if I really had the passion I had communicated in the essays. On a couple of Q, i wasn't sure and fumbled, and then told her that i wasn't sure - we laughed it off. Cool tha...!

IMO, the essays were what got me this admit.

Love this school, but not sure if I will join it - personal reasons. Am in touch with Babson, hope they help me out.

Cheers, and loads of luck!

Jack
