Tapped In: The Bennington Blog — I’m looking to transfer out of community college. Bennington is definitely my first choice. I was just curious as to how rigorous the academic requirements are to get in, or how willing the administration is to work with you? My GPA isn’t outstanding at the moment due to a faulty start. I have a visit scheduled for the 23rd and I do have an appointment with an advisor.

I know several community college transfers that go to school here. Where you came from or even what your GPA is are not the deciding factors in your admission. While your GPA is certainly an important part of your application, we are also looking for things like fit - whether Bennington really is a good school for you - and genuine intellectual curiosity. Looking forward to your visit!
