<p>I'd say you have a pretty good chance of getting in. Your GPA is a little on the low side, so it'd be great if you pull off those projected grades. All the extra curriculars look great, especially the community service.</p>
<p>The thing about Pepperdine is it's actually kind of hard to make predictions. Especially since Church of Christ students tend to get a slight priority as they choose who to accept, some students with stats far above the average get rejected, while some CoC students with lower stats get in.</p>
<p>Also, they don't really have early decision. There is a priority application deadline that's a few months earlier than the regular deadline, and those who meet the earlier deadline receive priority consideration for scholarships and financial assistance. But everyone, regardless of when the application was sent, has to wait until April for the decisions.</p>
<p>I think they are looking for students with conviction, regardless of your faith choice, so I think it is an advantage. Pepperdine does look at more than scores, but still are looking for strong students. Your upward trend would be something to get them to focus on. Good luck.</p>
