Greetings from Bentley University!
Our “Admission 101: Guiding you through the College Admission Process” series continues with a blog post about helping your students understand all of their options when applying to college.
After all, deciding where to apply to college is stressful enough, but what about when to apply? Many colleges offer various application deadlines — early decision, early action, regular decision and more — so it’s important to know the details of each before deciding which is best. Our seasoned admission team shares its advice on how your students can decide the appropriate application option for them. Check it out today!
We hope this information, and our entire Admission 101 series, give you another tool for helping your students’ college searches stay on schedule.
Also, your students and their families are invited to join us at our upcoming Fall Open House on Sunday, October 2. It’s an opportunity to tour campus, meet current students, faculty and staff – and hear more about academics, campus life, career services, financial aid and everything that makes Bentley so special.
Thank you for all you do.
Donna M. Kendall Associate Vice President of Enrollment and Dean of Undergraduate Admission
