Have you ever watched Shark Tank and thought, “Hey, I could be one of those people with cool ideas that change the world.” If so, Babson College might be the school for you. Located in a Boston suburb of Wellesley, Babson has a decades-long history of innovation and entrepreneurship. Babson’s supplemental essay prompt reflects this desire to think more expansively about what life can look like by giving applicants the option to film a video of its answer rather than write it. As you approach this application, think about how you can leverage either format to best display your unique interests and talents. Remember, like with any business idea, it’s not just about what you’re selling, but how you sell it. If you’re not sure where to start, we’re here to help.

Before you start brainstorming, want to get an even better sense of what Babson is looking for? You’ll find an extensive, by-the-numbers look at its offerings, from enrollment and tuition statistics to student life and financial aid information, on its Common Data Set.
