One more year of high school or Bentley University?

So I'm in junior year in high school at a school which offers the International Baccalaureate at graduation, but I'm almost definitely going to move back to the US at the end of this year and I am unlikely to go to a school which offers that diploma. If I graduate this year I receive the high school diploma, which is the equivalent of the diploma you get graduating an American high school. However, since I had to apply to schools before I took my 2nd SAT, the only school I could get into was Bentley University with my 1350 SAT score, although I took it again after I got accepted and got a 1450. I want to end up working at a Wall Street job, so should I do one more year of American high school or go to Bentley and try to transfer to a better school later?

For me, it would be definitely Bentley University. No other option. I guess you may need to read a CareerEdge story by Bentley graduate Alexandria Steinmann and her experience in Entrepreneurial Studies and Finance (as a major). In addition, they have a list of 54 Companies That Hire Bentley Grads. Check that too. Or here's a narration about Emily Niditch - Networking Her Way to Wall Street.

 

In your case, The Second option is suitable for you and that's going to Bentley and transfer to better schools. I have gone through under this same scenario when I was at high school, I transferred all of my courses to Michigan school of business. Gladly, all the procedure went quite smooth.
