I am in that same situation. Bentley was my top choice and I absolutely loved the school. However, the price of attendance didn’t make it worth it for me.
I’m in state; 3.8 gpa; 1300 SAT
Lots of leadership positions and went to internationals for DECA for three years
I got accepted but no merit. I decided to attend UMass in fall instead because I’d be paying over $40k less than Bentley per year.
@ahp2000 If the cost is that much of a difference - then I agree with your choice. However, Bentley sends out their financial packages a week after decisions are announced. So maybe they’ll come in (price-wise) closer to UMass.
Does anyone know if you are accepted to the honors program, are you required to live in the honors housing?
Accepted with founder’s scholarship of 25k/yr & honors program
international student
GPA 3.64/4 sat1 1410 (640+770) sat2 math 800
decent essay and possibly decent EC(?), they were mainly debate and volunteering work and some extras…
I was accepted with the provost scholarship of 15k/yr. Are a lot of people given this scholarship?
If someone is going to decline enrollment do they notify the school on mybentley, or write a letter, or just do nothing?
See if there’s a spot on the portal to decline enrollment. For a somewhat small school like Bentley I would also send a thank you but… email. You never know you may need to transfer and I feel it’s good karma but who knows if they have time to care.
Accepted w/Dean’s scholarship. (5,000 per year)
1330
3.7 Weighted GPA
Strong Essay and EC’s
i got provost scholar.
Not related to admissions, but I was wondering about the role of projects and presentations in Bentley’s curriculum. Does anyone know if presentations in class are common, especially for a marketing major?
Has anyone been able to access their financial aid award on the portal (need based, not scholarships)? I saw a new link to view the award today under the finance tab and the link did not work.
.@philippians, Yes I accessed it on the portal today, link worked for mee
Ok, thanks. I guess I have to call. Does anyone know if financial aid comes in mail or just on portal?
@rys45273 you don’t have to!
Did anyone receive a letter about accepted students day?
@karengjbs my son already registered for it and today he got a flyer and a Bentley t shirt
I can’t find out how to register for the admitted students day. Is it April 14th?
Yes it is April 14th and you can search on the bentley website or call and they will register you for it.
Thank you! I figured it out earlier today. Received the shirt today also!
