Higher stats then reccomended GPA

Looking at people’s stats on here gets me a little worried because online the reccomended HS GPA is like a 3.7 unweighted and so many people have 4.0. I have a 3.78 unweighted and 4.1 weighted, are these fine stats still or ??? Also was wondering if being from the north is an advantage since so many kids from CA and the south seem to apply

Honestly, Pepperdine is very unique and unusual in that GPA, class rank, and standardized test scores are all considered second to “personal and religious” achievements. Your stats are fine though, they just will not be heavily considered.
