Official 2013 Bentley Transfer Thread

<p>Hey all,
I sent in my app today so I figured this could be a spot for all of us to post stats
Sent in my app today!! </p>

<p>College GPA: 3.67 (52 credits by fall)
California Community College
29 ACT
4.0 midterm report
3 letters of recommendation (strength of letter)
1 from business law prof (7/10)
1 from my boss (9/10)
1 from polisci prof (10/10)
HS GPA 2.31 (graduated 5 years ago and grew up in the meantime, evidenced by my management position at work. I have a great essay explaining this) </p>

<p>Hooks: diagnosed with a severe case of narcolepsy (undiagnosed in HS thus the bad grades), full time worker, youngest manager hired by current company, work 48 hours per week, high school varsity tennis (1year). Debate team (1year). Also a legacy at Bentley, my dad got his undergrad there. I also had an amazing interview with the transfer admissions director in Jan. Went 2 hours and extremely well.</p>

<p>Good luck to you!</p>

<p>I am waiting to hear back (hopefully in the next few days) about my RD app! Bentley is such a cool place, it would be a dream to go there!</p>

<p>Argh, I’m so anxious about this app. I can’t wait until they release my decision! </p>

<p>Nice, r u gnna go?</p>

<p>I’m not sure. I think it will depend on how much aid they give me vs northeastern. I loved both the schools equally. Bentley was more focused on technology and northeastern had more job opportunities. </p>

<p>Hello all,</p>

<p>I’m a former transfer to Bentley myself and current undergraduate student here in Waltham.</p>

<p>I’d love to answer any questions you might have about the school, the transfer process, or anything else! I know it’s always helpful to have people in your corner during a lengthy process such as this.</p>

<p>My email is:</p>

<p><a href=“mailto:omalley_zach@bentley.edu”>omalley_zach@bentley.edu</a></p>

<p>I can be reached quicker via that e-mail address, as I check it hourly. Please contact me there.</p>

<p>Well it looks like I won’t be attending. I loved it there, and I think their focus on technology is great. My dad attended and I would have loved to follow him there. But they really screwed me on aid, I have been completely financially independent for the last 6 years. They gave me 5k in grants and that’s it. Really low. To top it off the associate director of financial aid dodged my calls for the last 3 weeks and kept sending me incorrect directions for forms for financial aid. Really absurd. I’m bummed, I really liked Bentley.</p>
