<p>I graduated from Bentley in May and can confidently say that your credentials look like a strong fit. I’m sure you’ve heard this before, but to be happy there you need to be really committed to business as a discipline. That said, I loved my experience and have a phenomenal job at a company I love. There definitely aren’t a whole lot of schools that consistently crank out a large percentage of students making 70-80K first year out.</p>

<p>Have you considered retaking the SAT? You usually want to break 2000. Other than that, looks pretty good. I would have a professional editor (or two) or a PR agent edit your essay.</p>
