***Bentley Class of 2021 RD Applicant Results Thread***

Just got accepted!

1480 SAT
3.5 UW

Selected as a Presidents Scholar too and awarded a half tuition scholarship! Considering I was worried about even getting accepted in the first place this came as an unexpected but very pleasant surprise

Congrats to all who got in!

@RightCoaster Congrats buddy. I am glad your son got in.

Congrats also to the others who got in and sorrow for those that did not.

My son is away atm so I don’t have results yet.

I hope he comes home soon. I will try to report back. Hoping we got a complete package with aid and everything. He is confident he will get in. If not, he will be in shock. It is the aid package that will keep us away. Bentley is very expensive, even by NE standards.

Is sounds like there is a merit scholarship notice on the portal as @andrewsuni2021 mentioned.

@mattm12334 I saw you were wait-listed on the other thread. Sorry to hear that.

Good luck @MassDaD68 !! Hope you get what you want and need. No mention of any merit $$ for us, so Bentley falls down the chart to other schools that son has been accepted to. It’s a good school, getting harder to get in every year! I think the school is located in a decent spot, nice updated campus, good education! For a business minded student I think it’s a solid choice.

@RightCoaster Thanks. I am sure the school dropped like a rock to the bottom. No aid = crazy price of about $65k/ year. Way too expensive for the typical business degree. It is 2.5x the cost of UMASS Amherst and I can tell you that the typical Bentley students will not be making 2.5X the salary. Not to start and not ever.

Can anyone please confirm if they give the login with the email? We don’t seem to have a login #

I should also add we are anxiously awaiting for my son to get home from baseball practice so he can’t check his email just yet

@MassDaD68 Yes, I would hope all accepted students to Bentley without merit or other reduction in fees to really consider if the school is worth it compared to in state at U Mass Isenberg. I would say not. However, if you are able to secure a better price for attending Bentley I think it’s a fine choice and I approve. Bentley has a lot of positive attributes.

Good luck everybody!!

@bmarcato The log in # is typically this bentley ID number preceded by the @ sign So it would be @123456789 . His password is his date of birth.

FYI.

I am not checking. That is something he deserves to do.

@massDad68 thank you - I will try to resist checking too :slight_smile:

@RightCoaster Exactly. I think it has advantages given its small size and location and if you have the cash to burn then it is definitely a good choice. I just think for the average middle class family, Isenberg is a better value.

Just found out our son was accepted!

My daughter got accepted. Anybody hear about scholarship? How do I find it, no mention of it anywhere.

Thanks!

Congrats! And scholarships are right below the admission decision. I completely missed it at first cause you have to scroll down.

Accepted with Honors and President’s Scholar (1/2 tuition)! The scholarship announcement was right under the admissions decision for me. (Where can I find info for other financial aid such as FAFSA?)

@JGDutchmen thanks! I guess she wasn’t offered any scholarship. On the finance tab, under financial aid notification, I see - “You have no notifications today.” 65k a year is a lot, she will probably will not be attending Bentley.

What were your stats?

@jh1868

1890 SAT, 28 ACT, GPA 3.73 W/3.4 UW. 3 APs courses and a few honors as well.

Congrats to everyone who got in, does anyone know the chances of getting in after being waitlisted?
