Getting into Pepperdine??

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Here is my background:</p>

<p>I go to a prestigious Catholic college prep school in New Jersey.
I'm a junior.
I currently have a cummulative average of a 91 in my high school career.
I have taken 7 honors classes.
I'm almost certain that I will get an award at the end of the year for highest literature average (96 in Honors World Lit) </p>

<p>I have been playing Guitar/Drums for 9 years
Played nearly 5 benefit concerts (Red Cross, Food Bank, etc..)
Volunteer playing music at a hospital.
Volunteered in Camden, NJ tutoring students.
Played music for school play.</p>

<p>I had to get pretty serious surgery on both my knees so my athletics are sketchy:</p>

<p>1 year baseball
2 years cross country
1 year track</p>

<p>I've been writing in the school newspaper my whole h.s career and will be editor in chief next year. </p>

<p>I am a co-creator of the Music Appreciation club</p>

<p>I also have a connection to Pepperdine.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
