<p>Essays:
they are unique and outstanding.</p>
<p>Recommendations:
Ness Technologies Company - the best recommendation I could have gotten
and another recommendation specifically about the major I pick - Computer Science - about my level etc..</p>
<p>I know Pepperdine is a Christian University and actually I don't care, I found the ideal place for me to get education.
Sorry if u don't really understand the israeli units it's just the level of the class...
oh and about the SAT I am retaking it [right now it's below the average..] i guess I would get M- 720+ W- 600+ CR- 500+ and I don't need TOEFL with CR- 450+ [only at Pepperdine]</p>
<p>Thanks!! and good luck to everyone with this process!!!</p>
