<p>My D was an ED candidate and was deferred to RD. </p>

<p>She has a 90 GPA with a 1620 SAT, decent recommendations but her extra-curricular’s are probably sub-par. She is hispanic from a suburban out-of-state public school. From speaking with admissions, it seems that they are most concerned about her math preparation. She is one year behind the pre-calculus track at her public high school. She has decided to take precalculus at a local community college and has informed admissions to this effect.</p>

<p>She has several other acceptances to fall back on, but has her heart set on Bentley.</p>

<p>Anyone have any advice on how to handle this?</p>

<p>So sorry to hear that your daughter was deferred. I really want to go to Bentley too; I applied EA. I wish for the best for her. </p>

<p>What does "bump" mean?</p>

<p>nightfly, I was sorry to see that your daughter was deferred. Maybe, promising to take a math course in summer school will help? I don't know.</p>

<p>Good luck to your daughter. I hope she gets into the school.</p>
