<p>Hi, I was just wondering if there is anything that Bentley specifically looks for in a student because I’ve done very well in school but my SAT scores were weak (even though I plan to bring them up since I only took them once). Here are some of my credentials I was wondering if anyone could tell me my chances.</p>

<p>3.9 GPA with all honors classes in every course since freshman year.
Taking 3 AP courses my senior year and 1 honors course
4 yrs of varsity hockey, captain my senior year
4 yrs of varsity tennis, captain my junior and senior year
National Honors Society
Attended Massachusetts 2007 Boys State Program
Involved in a club at our school called G.I.V.E. (Getting Involved in Volunteer Experiences) where I do community service.
Only a 1590 on my SATs, but I plan to take a prep course and practice tests to bring that up by a good amount</p>

<p>Your GPA and strong extracurricular experience should get you in despite your somewhat lower SATs. It can't hurt, however, to retake your SATs.</p>

<p>I agree with Taxguy...you look like a good match especially if you can get more points on your next SAT.</p>

<p>Bentley does like kids to show interest. Doing the interview would be a boost. It is not a hard interview at all, but it give you the opportunity to show your strengths.</p>

<p>If it is really, really your first choice...they seem to treat ED applications more favorably....if not go EA to show interest.</p>
