When did you find out? @jodance ?
For those of you waitlisted do you mind sharing your stats?
I got the email at 3:06. Pretty bummed though, I was really really hoping for an acceptance (Pepperdine has been my top choice for several years now).
To answer my own question and everyone else who is wondering as of 6:38 est I have been rejected. Good luck to everyone I hope these years are good to you
@jodance I’m sorry to hear that- feeling the same way right now
For those of you rejected- you have the option to reapply for spring 2018, you only have to wait 1 semester. Most schools you have to wait a whole year just something to keep in mind
Just got rejected
Congrats to whoever got in and I’m sorry for everyone who didn’t.

Daughter denied–her only rejection. Meant to be. Her remaining choices are more affordable for us. Best wishes to all!
Waitlisted here. We were also waitlisted at Grinnell. Rejected at Colby today. Today was the first day we received a rejection. Everyone will be ok. I thoroughly believe all students will find “their spot”.
My daughter was wait-listed. 3.92, 8 AP’s, 5 years of Foreign Language, top 20% of class.
Does anyone know if scholarships are given right away?
Son was waitlisted.
33 ACT
4.2 GPA (w)
IB diploma candidate
Congrats to all who made it in, and may you all end up at the school you were meant to.
@mmmk17 FA/merit is sent 24-48 hours later according to the bottom of my acceptance letter
For those accepted, is there a groupme yet?
I am extremely surprised I got accepted. Although I wasn’t accepted for the Fall, I was accepted and saved a spot for the Spring Semester. Either way, I honestly am still confused as to how I got in, considering it was a huge reach school for me and my stats are NOWHERE near most of the people that got in (mine are lower). I am thinking maybe it has to do with my location (east coast, metropolitan area?). Besides that, I am extremely happy, but I am still in shock to say the least. Pepperdine was my dream school as a child, and I was expecting to be rejected. I thought I had zero chance… Congrats to everyone else who got in!
@kfignewton Congrats! Pepperdine is a small private school so they can truly use a holistic approach to admissions. You obviously have some great qualities that caught their eye. Happy for you!
@kfignewton Hi!! I’m in the exact same boat as you! I just got my acceptance today; however, for Spring of 2018 instead of fall. I was surprised I got in as well considering my stats were a tad below. I’m not even mad though because I’m just pumped I got in, it’s one of my top schools, if not my top school. I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one accepted in just the Spring semester! Congrats on your acceptance, though!
