WAITLISTED!! 3.81 GPA and 1650 SAT. I read 10,600 apps total, about 1500 waitlist positions and 840 accepted.
Curious to know what course everyone designed in the “Create A Course” supplement
I created a “Gone With the Wind” course based off of David O. Selznick’s 1939 classic. haha
I created a music and medicine course where people studied the effects of music on the brain.
ACCEPTED! So incredibly blessed.
I created a course about acceptance and diversity.
Hey guys I was also wait listed, just wondering if you accepted the place on the wait list or declined?
When/how do you apply for housing?? I want to know my roommate!
I designed a Catholic Social Teachings course in which students would not only learn about critical social issues within society, but interactively study them with immersion and service trips
@tkb0423 I accepted my spot on the waitlist as soon as I got the email because at the time I didn’t know what their process is with accepting waitlisted students (whether it’s first come first serve or rank), but they actually don’t rank. I’m not sure what their process is and I would be very curious to find out – they didn’t exactly specify on their waitlist FAQs.
Can we pick our roommates or is it random?
Accepted!

Who else got in?
I was accepted as a spring admit, waitlisted for fall. Interesting dilemma… but happy nonetheless
@jupulugan Take community college/online courses in the meantime?
^ Yes, that’s what I was planning. Also I’m interested if they had a freshmen fall abroad program for their spring admits like USC does.
for wait listed kids, I talked to the admissions counselor and he said that they don’t rank the wait list so they go by the time you accept your position on the wait list. Also, said that if you commit to a college on May 1st but find out you get into pepperdine around June 15, you will lose your deposit to the other college if you decide to go to pepperdine.
The spring admits were automatically placed on the waitlist for fall, so those 75-125 kids are probably the first to get off the waitlist… I think.
My son was accepted
