<p>are my stats not comprable to those accepted?</p>

<p>dunno why that happened</p>

<p>WOW, was this your first choice, because this seems surprising! Females are also at a disadvantage as there are far more female applicants. Go back to your connections and have them work for you if this is truly your first choice.</p>

<p>It was my first choice initially, so I was extremely bummed and surprised when I got waitlisted. I live in Moorpark and want to stay close to home, so I figured Pepperdine would be the perfect place. Now that I have been waitlisted and won't find out if I have have been accepted until June 1st, I am forced to reconsider the others I have been accepted to. I have chosen Cal Lutheran, although I was accepted to UCSB, UC Irvine, and UC Davis as well. I am not sure what I will do if Pepperdine ends up granting me admission.</p>

<p>It is a really difficult situation, good look.</p>

<p>I got in! I honestly didn't expect to and was going to attend University of Miami, but I'm really excited about Pepperdine.
- 1160/1880 SAT
- Lots of good activities, good rec's, good essay and short answers
- Ranked 10/182</p>

<p>Congrats! I was admitted by u miami too. But I chose Pepperdine and confirmed my admission today!</p>

Would you mind posting your stats either here or in a private message to me? I am trying to get an idea about the stats of those admitted. I was waitlisted and am trying to figure out why.
Thank you =]</p>
