<p>You’re very good for Bentley. I’d be surprised if you didn’t get in. </p>

<p>Other options:
Babson College
Boston U
Northeastern U(If you want, but you can do better. Maybe as a safety)
USC Marshall (Reach)</p>

<p>I highly recommend Babson College as they have a very good business and entrepreneurship program. Do some research on it. I’ll be attending Babson in the fall :)</p>

<p>I’m not sure if Northeastern would be a safety school. Their SAT range is much higher</p>

<p>Seriously I would never take Babson over Bently unless you are focused on the entrepreneurship program</p>

<p>is babson good for any other majors?</p>

<p>Babson does specialize in Entrepreneurship. However, in my opinion Bentley would only be good for finance but Babson would be better for Business Management. Just my opinion however. If you’re looking for a more liberal arts education or want to focus on Finance, I would say Bentley. Otherwise I would choose Babson. Babson is also more internationally renowned while Bentley only is renowned in the New York/Boston area.</p>

<p>It’s certainly not a bad thing to be renowned for Finance in the NY/Boston area =JOBs. Bently is now promoting double majors: A Busniness and a Liberals Arts major to create a well-rounded graduate. You can easily visit both schools in the same day, they are only 30 minutes from each other. Compare the trading rooms and give us an answer.</p>

<p>Unless you’re thinking of starting your own company I wouldn’t go to Babson, way too entrepreneurial focused. Bentley certainly has an accounting/finance vibe and while most students are from the Northeast US there is no shortage of International students or students from all across the US.</p>

<p>@mark2457, While I feel that Bentley is also a fantastic school, I don’t think comparing the highlight of Bentley’s campus to any other school’s is very fair. I honestly believe that Bentley’s trading room is fantastic, and no other college/university in the U.S. has that level of technology in the financial field. However, people don’t judge whether they go to a school by a trading room. It’s certainly a highlight, and one that drew me to apply to Bentley even though I later withdrew my application. At the end of the day, we are just giving opinions to mint15 so that he can make an informed decision. I think we shouldn’t talk about the negative aspects of Babson/Bentley and instead focus on the positives of each school. </p>

<p>Also, being renowned in the Boston/New York area is a fantastic thing, I never said it was bad.</p>
