The Babson prompts, quoted
Every applicant (750 words)
“The Babson education prepares students to think and act entrepreneurially ... Tell us about your interest in studying business, including any relevant experience you have or what your career aspirations are, and how you feel Babson can help prepare you to make an impact in your chosen field of business.”
Limit: 500 words max, or a one-minute video · Who: All first-year applicants · Required for this group
Goals read as believable when they grow out of something already in the file. Connect the future you describe to one concrete thing you have done, and keep it specific enough to check.
“A defining element of the Babson experience is learning and thriving in an equitable and inclusive community with a wide range of perspectives, experiences, and interests. Please share something about your background, lived experiences, or viewpoint(s) that speaks to your commitment to promoting access, connection, or understanding across differences, and how you will contribute to and learn from Babson's collaborative community.”
Limit: 250 words max · Who: All first-year applicants · Required for this group
Pick one part of your background and one moment where it mattered, then show what it changed in how you act now. A survey of your whole life in 250 words reads as a list, and readers have the rest of the file for that.
How many words the Babson supplement takes
750 words for every applicant, counting each choice once at its limit.
A plan for writing the Babson set
Babson asks about business and about community. The business essay should show something you have actually tried or run, not just a career goal. The community essay should describe how you have connected people across differences.
