Babson alums ranked least dateable by matchmaking service

Babson College in Wellesley regularly racks up awards for being among the best schools with entrepreneurship programs, and earlier this year, for being a great value school. But Babson’s latest #1 ranking is of a more dubious nature: least dateable alumni.

The Dating Ring, a Facebook-attached online matchmaking site, has issued a survey of the most and least datable alums based on feedback from its clients over the past 18 months.

According to a Time magazine report on the survey, “Datability scores were calculated based on the percent of people who said that they would opt for a second date and ranged from 17% (for Babson College) to 81% (for Colgate University).”

Note that this was not the most evenhanded of surveys, with 81% of respondents living in New York City and the rest in San Francisco, according to Time.

As for what might have led to Babson alum scoring worst, perhaps those go-getters streaming out of the school just don’t have time to devote to their dates given their 24/7 entrepreneurial efforts.  But don’t worry, we’re sure that they are catches in the long run.
