Standard extracurriculars.
A question I have is that in the email it says “This year’s applicant pool was exceptionally competitive, as we reviewed over 11,800 truly remarkable applications for approximately 880 openings” does that mean that out of those 11,800 applications they expect to admit about 880, or that they only offered admission to 880 of them?
Offered admission for the spring 2017! I don’t know how to feel about this!

@kingx16 they hope to fill up all 880 openings by accepting way more people than that. they have a 35% acceptance rate, which means that they accepted about 4,000 people today and about 880 of those people will choose to go
@hellokitty679 okay thank you! What would they do if they expect to fill about 880 applications but say 1,000+ decide to go to Pepperdine?
@kingx16 ya i kinda wondered that as well. this actually answers both of our questions exactly
