Application Requirements

Transfer students should apply to Babson College online via the Common Application website. For your convenience, we have provided PDF links below so that you may view our application before applying.

Official Test Scores

All applicants who graduated from high school less than five years ago are required to submit their official ACT or SAT score reports. We require either the SAT I or the ACT with the optional writing portion. SAT II test results are not required. Applicants who graduated from high school more than five years ago are not required to submit this credential. A TOEFL or IELTS score report is required for all international students for whom English is not their native language.

Mid-Semester Report Form

The Mid-Semester Report Form (PDF) is required for all students currently enrolled in college-level classes. Every class you are currently taking must be listed on this form—even if your class has not yet had a midterm exam. Please ask each professor to comment on your academic progress to date. Also, please make sure that the course number, course title, and credit hours are clearly listed. This form must be submitted with your completed application by the application deadline. It is your responsibility to inform us if your course schedule changes after you submit the form.

College Official’s Report

The college official’s report is required for all transfer applicants. Please have your Academic Dean or Student Affairs Dean fill out the form from EACH college or university that you have attended as a full-time student. The College Official’s Report form(s) must be submitted along with your other application credentials by the application deadline. If you are filling out the Common Application for Transfer Admission, please use the College Official’s Report for Transfer Admission.

Professor Evaluation

Transfer applicants are required to submit at least one letter of recommendation from a college professor. It is your responsibility to ensure that your recommendations are received by the admission office by the stated deadlines.

High School Transcripts

We require an official transcript for all secondary schools you have attended. It is your responsibility to ensure that your transcripts are received by the stated deadlines.

College Transcripts

Official college transcripts must be sent from every institution of higher education you have attended. It is your responsibility to ensure that your transcripts are received by the stated deadlines.

International Applicants

International students may need to submit a certified English translation of high school transcripts, college transcripts, and course materials. The official certification should be attached to your original documents.
