People Are Not at All Snobby
Many people who are into entrepreneurship or business in general will consider Bentley and Babson. When I was researching these two schools, there was a general consensus that the kids, especially at Babson, were really rich, snobby, and spoiled. I come from a very down to earth middle class background and would not be able to handle the one-upmanship and flaunting of snobs. However, at Bentley, there is not a disproportionate amount of snobby people as you might find at Babson. People do not flaunt their class here and you can find just as many toyota camrys as BMW 3s.

The weather will change on a dime here in New England. It is one of the most volatile weather areas in the country. Snowing one day and sunny and hot the next.

Admissions Tips
I was a transfer student and came from a community college. I really wanted to come to Bentley and I made every effort to show that to the Transfer staff and whomever I met along the way of the process. This was not something artificial but came a long naturally. However, I still think this was one of the largest factors in my acceptance.
I attended the normal campus tours but went above that and got the names of the people in charge of transfer students. I made sure to schedule a meeting with her (actually multiple meetings) and did a lot of work so I could ask the right questions. This person in the administration communicated with me frequently back and forth for the period of 6 months or so up to when I got accepted.
If you think about it from their standpoint, I probably stood out from all the other transfers and they definitely remembered who I was. Come decision time when they are sitting in the room reviewing 100's of dossiers, there will be something real that is attached to my name.
tl;dr BE VERY FORWARD. Meet with the people who will be deciding your fate
