Waitlist and Athletic Updates

May 1st has just passed and with it marks the end of another admissions season...

It has been quite a year!

As of today we do have enough deposits to fill the class of 2013. Having said that, if you are currently on the waitlist, there is still a chance of spots opening up over the next few weeks. If other institutions go to their waitlists, some of our committed students may go in a different direction. This could open up some spots for our students on the waitlist. Regardless we will be in touch with everyone on the waitlist by the end of May with notification of where we stand.

In other news: Athletics! It has been quite a year for our Varsity and Club Sports Teams! Here are some highlights:
  • Men's Tennis won it's first ever NE-10 title this year and for the fourth year in a row went to the NCAA tournament
  • Not to be outdone, the Women's Tennis program also won the NE-10 title this year
  • Men's Basketball finished the regular season at 20-6 and made it back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in three years. Along the way they ended Bentley's NCAA record 43 game home winning streak!
  • Women's Basketball finished 20-7 this year and along the way was ranked as high as #4 in the country! The Skyhawks won two games in the NCAA tournament before being knocked out in the regional final.
  • Women's Rugby, although a club sport team, competes in Division II against such schools as Boston College, Boston University, Babson College, Wellesley College and Southern Connecticut. Along the way towards their undefeated season, they took out Division I teams like Holy Cross and Providence. The team recently left for California to compete in the NCAA Division II Championships. They beat Delaware in the semi-finals before losing in the championship game against Shippensburg. Still a tremendous effort by the 2-time defending D-III champions!
