I can’t see how the admissions process at Pepperdine allows for the school to be competitive with potential candidates when they wait until April 1 to present acceptance letters. Many of the kids applying are coming from all around the states and in many cases received their first acceptance letters into other universities by mid December. I would say that they don’t have a tremendous amount of patience with waiting around to make a decision on what school to attend. It is what it is and everyone will continue to have to wait until they complete the process.
