<p>This might be pointless but I’ll try. I am currently a junior in a private catholic HS. I plan to apply to Bentley University ED next year. I haven’t taken my ACTs or SATs yet but have been studying for them. I have a 3.9 GPA on a 5.0 scale. I hope to get about a 4.1-4.2 this year to bump my GPA into the 4.0 range. If it means anything, my GPA might seem low but my school is considered relatively difficult. Also my school doesn’t keep a class rank, but according to my counselor I’m in the top 20% of a class of about 350. The current valedictorian has a 4.4. I am currently taking 1 AP course, APUSH, and the rest Honors classes. I have taken Honors classes for a majority of my high schools courses. This was the first year my school offered APs and only APUSH or English was available and I didn’t feel I was prepared enough to take an AP English class. My ECs as of right now involve every weekend volunteering at a pet rescue organization, organizing an intramural wiffle ball club after school on Fridays, and varsity Lincoln Douglas. Also I’m a minority (Hispanic). (This is my first year as Varsity, so I don’t currently have any awards available for it, won some small awards at Novice). Any advice on admissions? I’m planning to get a Finance degree. Is this app good enough for ED decision or is it too early since I don’t have my SATs or ACTs in? I plan to visit this spring and interview while I’m there. Thank you.</p>
<p>Your GPA is solid. Do well on SAT and I think you will have a good chance. My D was accepted two years ago with a 4.1 GPA and a single SAT taken junior year of 1820. She came from a highly ranked HS with all honors classes and 3 AP’s. </p>
