A plea from a waitlisted student.

Hey everyone, I got waitlisted by Bentley on saturday and to tell you, it broke my heart. Bentley is my first choice university and i really want to go there. I already sent my waitlist reply form along with a letter pleading my case. What i plead from you guys who got in and are definitely not attending, if Bentley's your safety school and you got into your first choice already, could you please send in that you are not attending Bentley as quick as possible. There are a lot of people on the waitlist whose first choice is bentley and i dont want to sound like a jerk but some students' are using it as an automatic acceptance school. So if you already got into your first choice and you are not attending bentley, just send in the form or tell bentley you're not going please. Thank you.

I also received my wait listed letter yesterday. How did you send back your reply to their "Why should you be amongst the next to be chosen so quickly"? I am with you, need everyone to respond as soon as possible "Nay" or "yea!

There are many kids who turn down schools. If you are waitlisted, call up the admission's office and ask where you are on the waitlist. You might actually have a good shot especially in today's economic climate at private schools.

If I didn't know any better I thought this was written by me. I completely agree and I am in the same situation. Good luck!

I'll send the form in next week after I will have heard from my 1st choice school.
Good luck to everyone who got waitlisted, I wish you'd get my spot. Bentley is a great school!

If I get into my yop 5 choices, then it works out for both of us. Honestly right now bentley is my safety so if all goes well, you'll get my spot .
