Hi everyone I hope everyone’s doing great,
I am an international student currently studying in SMC. I started to study abroad since high school five years ago. I went to SJSU and found out it was not a school for me so I transfer. I am a communication major. I just applied for Pepperdine University and they rejected me. LMU would like to see my final transcript then give me their answers. My first choice was Pepperdine. And I got into ULV but it was just my backup plan. I currently have a 3.2 gpa in SMC. SMC’s academic renewal program allowed my gpa to go up 0.2. But it wasn’t show on my transcript until Pepperdine finalized my application. So what Pepperdine saw was 3.0. Other than that if plus the five units math courses I took in UCLA my GPA would be 3.31. I really wanted to go to Pepperdine, but I am 22 now and have lots of pressure to graduate soon. Do you think I should apply for Pepperdine again for Spring term? They offer reapply program open in August. It’s free and I don’t need to resubmit everything. I can maintain my gpa around 3.3 without counting credits from UCLA. (with UCLA can be around 3.4 by the end of semester)
Thanks for your patience and reply, Im really appreciated.
