<p>Hi, I am a high school junior from a pretty good MA public high school. Here are some my my stats:</p>
<p>GPA: 3.52 avg out of 4.71 GPA cap (due to weird scaling)
PSAT: 183 (60 math, 60 reading, 83 writing)
SAT: (taking them in June)
SAT Subject Tests: (taking them in May)
Class Rank: Top 25-30%</p>
<p>JR Year Courses: 5 honors classes, AP Chem, and gym
SR Year Courses: 2 honors classes, 3 AP classes, Statistics CPI, and gym (so GPA will probably go up)</p>
<p>EC: Varsity swim (3 years), club swim captain, volunteering</p>
<p>I have a couple of questions: 1) Would I have a shot at getting into Bentley? I am Asian, so these stats are pretty much horrendous for my record. 2) If I get in, would I receive any FA at all? 3) Assuming I get no FA, would it be worth it to go to Bentley? (Please base this off of average starter incomes and/or job opportunities for graduates. I am willing to consider various fields of business.)</p>
<p>Other Achievements:
National French Exam Bronze Medalist (2012)
National French Exam Certificate (2013)
National Spanish Exam Certificate (2012)
National Spanish Exam Silver Medalist (2013)</p>
<p>Get above a 2100 on the SATs and you’ll have a nice scholarship, honors program, and you’ll kill the app. Don’t sweat it.</p>
<p>For the salaries, Bentley’s average starting salaray is extremely misguiding. The resources at Bentley for places yourself in a high paying job are ridiculous. Bentley was ranked #2 for career services on Forbes I think(Don’t quote me on it). Use career services. Email them, set up apointments, give them your resume, ask them for jobs. They will literally walk you through the steps to have an internship as a freshman as long as your gpa is above a 2.7 and you put some effort in. So imagine if you’e Gpa is a 3.5 and you’re doing this. You’ll do amazing.</p>
<p>Now for the reason why the starting salary is misguiding. There are too many lazy kids, but over the years, Bentley has become slowly more selective and the average starting salary is going up. </p>
<p>Regardless, the current average starting salary should be something that makes you want to go to Bentley. its already pretty high and a huge percentage of kids here are lazy. If you’re a hard worker, you will far exceed that salary, make bank, and enjoy the school for all of its other really fun activities and crazy weekends.</p>
<p>May i also add to what Bentleyboy said. The starting salary is also skewed because of majors such as management, and marketing that tend to be on the lower end. If you plan to go into an accounting, or finance field you can expect an income north of the average. </p>
