At Bentley, we’re committed to a caring and holistic review of every application, one that considers everything that makes you the person you are today. The entire application process at Bentley is about you and finding the best fit for your college experience.
Our students come from a variety of experiences, backgrounds, and cultures — aspects that are important to a rich educational experience and your success in college and beyond. Of course, we review the rigor of your curriculum and your achievements in the classroom, but beyond academics, we consider other attributes that define you. We want to know the way you navigated your high school years, your involvement in your community and your commitment to your interests.
Our admission team will give your application the attention it deserves, because you deserve nothing less. So, if you think Bentley might be a good fit for you, please let us know how we can help.
