What Babson is really asking
Have you actually worked across a difference, and what did it change in you?
The mistake most applicants make
Writing about diversity as a value you hold rather than a thing you did.
Do this instead
One situation where you bridged a gap: a teammate, a customer, a family member, a neighbor. Show the friction, what you did, and what you now do differently in a group. Then one sentence on how that habit shows up in a Babson team project.
How to spend 250 words
250 words is two or three short paragraphs: the specific moment, what it revealed or changed, and why it points to this school. Cut any sentence that could appear in another applicant's essay.
How to start
Jim starts by asking you: “When did you last work closely with someone who saw the world very differently, and what did you change because of it?” Answer it with Jim, free →
