I saw that no one has started this thread yet so I thought I’d do it. I’m from Texas, 1420 SAT, 4.0 GPA, Church of Christ.
Thanks for starting. Does anyone know when Pepperdine typically starts releasing decisions?
Mid March- Early April :))
The last few years it’s been the third Friday in March! @UTSquared
@isabelleban Thanks!
I don’t know if this is the right place to ask this question, but I will anyway. I was browsing Pepperdine’s website tonight and noticed that there is early action admissions. I thought there was no early action. Our tour guide even mentioned that. Does anyone know if there really is early action? My daughter said there wasn’t even an option to select it on the common app.
@disney4cam https://seaver.pepperdine.edu/admission/application/undergraduate/firstyear.htm I think this is the page you are referring to. This looks new for next year. I don’t remember seeing it in the fall, and I can’t imagine missing it. It is more likely that Pepperdine is trying to spread out the applications to make it easier for them to evaluate everyone. It make me think that applications were up again this year. If there was early action for this fall, some applicants would have heard and posted. Too bad it wasn’t an option for us. Waiting is tough.
@JerseyPops Yes, that’s it. That makes sense, especially based on the lack of comments here. Pepperdine is my daughter’s number one and it is so tough waiting to make her final decision. If we would have missed out on EA, I would have been bummed. She was extremely confident it wasn’t an option when she applied, so I should have realized it is for next year.
It’s a little discouraging to hear that apps are probably up again, but I guess that’s inevitable. We are hoping for the $30k scholarship…
There wasn’t an early option for Fall 2018. I read somewhere they were adding for future years.
Isabelleban, those are incredible stats. Is Pepperdine your top choice? Any idea what kind of scholarship you would get?
Thank you! Yes, Pepp is my top choice! I am hoping for the highest regent scholarship that I believe is worth 30k. Unfortunately, there is no way to determine if I will get one or not because it depends on the stats of the applicant pool. The applicants with the highest stats get it, so there’s no way to tell if I’m one of those applicants. I did apply for two Church of Christ scholarships though, both worth $5000, so fingers crossed! Did you also apply?
@isabelleban Is your GPA unweighted? I know my daughter is hoping for the same, but her unweighted is 3.85, I think. She received a VERY generous offer at LMU, but she loves Pepperdine.
Good luck to you. I hope it works out for you!
Received notice based on audition of Fine Arts Special Achievement Recruit sent to admissions office. Hoping for the best but prepared for the worst.
Did anyone else get an email tonight saying that your application is complete? I got the exact same email over a month ago and then again tonight.
I just got the same emails as well! The exact same ones i got a month ago! That’s so weird! Anyone else?
I got that email too so I tried to check my app tracker but it’s not working… anyone else having this issue?
I also got an email. I only got 1 but others have gotten multiple.My app tracker is also down. Do you guys think it could mean that decisions are coming out tomorrow? I doubt it because it’s been the third Friday for years but this is all really strange
Yes, very odd. Seems to have no new information beyond the previous notification that the application was complete and they had all the materials they needed.
Received the same email two weeks ago, a duplicate of one previously received and seemingly purposeless. My guess is the email auto-launched when the application was evaluated.
You think they’re just evaluating them now? Shouldn’t decisions already be made considering admissions is most likely going out next week?
