Financial aid from Bentley

<p>my D was accepted! yeah! But no merit$, Boo! She is 3.48 unweighted, in top 11% of class, we have 1 DD in college already. I fear we are in the middle group, not poor, well off, but NOT rich and we are anxiouslay await Fin. aid info. 2 kids in colllege and a motgage is tough! Does Bently Fin. aid go to people like us, or are we in the SOL group? She has Bryanyt as a backup, as thats local, but who knows! thanks for listening.</p>

<p>Any special scholarships for girls who are great in math?</p>

<p>cudavid, It is VERY important that you call up admission and ask them about financial aid and merit aid. Tell them about any merit aid offered by comparable schools.</p>

<p>hi, thank you for the feeback. I am waiting to hear from Bryant, but she has Bentley as #1 Choice. I called 1 time month or so ago, spoke to the finaid dept and was assured they had everything. This week I will mail in the tax stuff for 07 they require and hold my breath!</p>

<p>By the way, generally Bentley is considered a much better place than Bryant for most business majors.</p>

<p>bryant's new technology center looks excellent. if money is most important, go to the school that provides the most aid. bentley and bryant are both of similar caliber it seems.</p>

<p>"bentley and bryant are both of similar caliber it seems"</p>

<p>I really don't think so. What is that comment based on?</p>

<p>Not according to the only number that matters.</p>

<p>Average starting salary Bentley $47,500</p>

<p>Average starting salary Bryant about $40,000</p>

<p>"I really don't think so. What is that comment based on?"</p>

<p>Well I think so. bentley, bryant, babson are for the most part all similar. bentley may be marginally better than bryant but it is probably splitting hairs. they both have scores of B and A+ for teaching quality and facilities, respectively, according to businessweek. maybe bryant's career services could use an upgrade.</p>

<p>Krazyk, I can only tell you that my friend, who was an accounting major at Bryant and liked the school , felt that Bentley has a better reputation in accounting. He doesn't know about their other majors ,but, in accounting, Bentley is supposed to be very good. Moreover, this statement was made by a Bryant alumni too.</p>
