<p>The deadline for applying to Seaver College at Pepperdine has been extended to February 2. I assume this indicates that they have received fewer applications than expected.</p>
<p>That kinda made me angry. I worked my butt off to have everything done on time and they extend the deadline. I could have had more time with my essays. I wish they'd give some sort of priority to us.</p>
<p>I also think they didn't get alot of applications. Cal state schools have way to many applications and are moving the deadlines earlier whereas the pepperdine is moving it back. This shows how the economy is effecting kids college choices.</p>
<p>I called the Admissions office on the 15th regarding teacher rec's and was told that they extended the deadline because last weekend there was a "glitch" in the online system and students could not get their online applications submitted. My daughter worked on uploading and reloading for over 14 hours before it took. The site went down many times. So I really dont think the extended deadline has anything to do with lack of applications, in fact the admissions office said they were several weeks behind in going through their admissions mail due to the huge volumes of applications.</p>
