<p>For the last short answer question about where you applied to, and describe why you applied to each university.... </p>
<p>Anyone know why they're asking?
And was I actually supposed to through every single college and say why I applied there? :-/</p>
<p>I just listed my top three choices and explained why I applied to them... I'm not exactly sure why they ask this..maybe they want to gauge how committed applicants are to PU</p>
<p>I assume it is for data collection purposes; a nice, vague, general pool of data. I doubt that they can use the information objectively when deciding who to admit. Then again, they are on the Pacific Ocean and can do pretty much whatever they want. </p>
<p>I only listed my top choices also. I wasn't about to come off as a flake for applying to 10 other places.</p>
<p>Same here. I only listed 3 or 4 and I chose the ones that were similiar to Pepperdine.</p>
<p>I didn't list any. I said "I don't know" which was almost true, since Pepperdine was one of the first schools I applied to, and I didn't have my list of other colleges to apply to finalized yet. And the one college I did apply to before then was because my mom wanted me to, so there was no real explanation of why I chose it.</p>
<p>I go to a Church of Christ high school and they take honestly very seriously.
Just in case there is any chance of feedback out there (scores sent, data?), I put the exact and honest truth on there.</p>
