Chance me! Bentley University

Bentley University is my top choice and I decided to apply RD instead of ED. Please share stats, tips, and advice!

I want to major in corporate finance and accounting.

Unweighted GPA: 93 (3.8)
Weighted GPA: 98 (4.0)
Mix of A’s and B’s (mostly A’s)
SAT w/ Essay: 1260 with 11/24 on essay

Classes:

  • several honors, AP, and college classes
  • I anticipate on earning around 39 college credits by the time I graduate high school

Extracurriculars:

  • Key Club (all 4 years - Vice President for 2 years)
  • JV & Varsity Tennis (3 years)
  • National Honor Society

I’m interested in Bentley’s Honors Program and Women’s Leadership Program.

The first time I took the SAT was in June 2018, I decided to take it with the essay because I thought it was required, but I was wrong and misread from somewhere. I’m beyond nervous about sending my score in due to my essay score. I’m proud of my score of 1260, but it makes me uneasy thinking about sending it with my essay score which is very weak (11 out of 24). I know the SAT essay is neither required nor recommended, but I feel it would raise a red flag to admission officers viewing my application. I decided to retake the SAT (no essay) in December.

Any stats, tips, or advice would be very helpful. Thanks!
