Transfer Student Application Requirements

Apply to Babson College as a transfer student via the Common Application. In addition to your completed application, you must submit:

• Official Test Scores: Babson is Test-Optional. Applicants may still submit test scores voluntarily. All applications will be reviewed for consideration in a holistic manner taking into account academic performance and academic rigor during high school(s)/college(s), community service, co-curricular activities, and other aspects of the application and candidate’s portfolio. Non-native English speakers will still be required to submit English language exam scores or request a waiver. Students who do not submit test scores will not be penalized in the review process. All of our applicants will be considered in a contextual and holistic way.
• Mid-Term Report Form: Currently enrolled in college-level classes? List each class you are taking on the Mid-Term Progress Report for Transfer Applicants—even if your class has not yet had a midterm exam. If your course schedule changes after you submit the form, it is your responsibility to inform us.
• College Report: Your Academic Dean or Student Affairs Dean must fill out this form (Common App College Report) which is available through the Common App. You need one form for each college or university that you have attended as a full-time student.
• Professor Evaluation: Submit at least one letter of recommendation from a college professor.
• High School Transcripts: Submit an official transcript for each secondary school you have attended.
• College Transcripts: Submit an official transcript from every institution of higher education you have attended.
• Course Materials: Submit a syllabus for each college-level course for which you want to receive transfer credit.

Please note: it is your responsibility to ensure all materials are received by the application deadline.

In addition to the materials listed above, international student transfer applicants must also submit:

• Certified English translation of high school transcripts attached to your original documents.
• College transcript, including the credit for the courses you are taking as equivalent to semester hours.
• TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo score report if your native language is not English. In some cases we offer waivers for students who have demonstrated high proficiency in reading, writing, and English.
