I'm planning to apply to Bentley College as a transfer student and am curious about their GPA requirements. What kind of GPA would make me competitive during the application process?
While Bentley University doesn't officially publish a minimum GPA requirement for transfer students, transfer admissions can be quite competitive. From the information available, many successful transfer applicants to Bentley typically have GPAs above a 3.0, and a lot of them have GPAs that are in the 3.3 - 3.6 range. That being said, a high GPA alone does not guarantee acceptance. They'll also be looking at your course rigor, extracurricular activities, references, and personal essay.
Do take note that although GPA plays a significant role, the admissions board will be looking at your application holistically. So, if your GPA is slightly lower but the rest of your application is strong, you could still have a good chance of being admitted.
