<p>does anyone know if anyone has gotten in off the waitlist anytime recently? a good buddy of mine so wants to go there and is frustrated because now they told him its unlikely they will go to the waitlist this year, unlike years past. he is quite bummed, does anyone know of anything diffrerent?</p>
<p>I'm quite sorry for your friend. </p>
<p>This year, yes, they have placed quite a numerous bunch on waitlist. I believe it's because many individuals (myself included) found Bentley as a safety, toured it, fell to the propaganda of the beautiful library/gym, and decided to attend it. </p>
<p>Sadly(the diction of this word depends on how you look at it), much of the reason is due to their drastic merit scholarships. They've been dishing it out, (I presume that that that's what they've done with their increasing endowments) to attract better candidates. As dunkaroo made a few posts back, Bentley's taking a jump to overcome Babson. </p>
<p>May I suggest you to ask your friend to write a letter as soon as possible, possibly in the letter to just beg (with implicated reason of course as to why he's a great candidate), and more importantly have his guidance counsi. call Bentley and express how much he wishes to attend there.</p>
<p>I recently got off the Bentley waiting list however, the acceptance is for the spring 2007 semester. So i'm going to go to Bryant for the fall semester and transfer to Bentley.</p>
