Hey guys, Bentley is one of my top schools. I’m applying this winter with hopes of coming in as a Junior for Fall 2018. Let me know if you think I have a shot or not!

What do you guys think? I’m very worried about my GPA being too low. When I apply it will be a 3.44 or 3.45. My graduating GPA from my CC will be between 3.50-3.66 (I know this because I am certain i’ll get A’s in my final semester - just knocking out required electives)
