Pepperdine Waitlist 2017

For anyone who got waitlisted like me for Fall 2017 Pepperdine admission, I wanted to see if others want to stay in contact or just want to share as we all through this process.

Does anyone know whether students got a spot from 2016 waitlist?

I got waitlisted as well

Well waitlisters we made it through week 1. This time last week when the decisions came out it was a little shaky for all of us but not only did we survive we are still in the game. Stay positive, don’t give up, and just because we have been delayed doesn’t mean we have been denied yet.

@peppstepp17 yes exactly :slight_smile: i thought i would have gotten a rejection so im actually excited to be still in the game

Also waitlisted, and the chance seems to be slim. Too much applicants this year!

@Pepwe17 Yeah—being in the game is A LOT better than not being in the game. Don’t give up!

Sure all of our chances as waitlisters are slim, BUT it’s not impossible. There are so many of us who are waitlisted, and we are nervous and we feel like we are in limbo. We all got so many questions that don’t have answers yet because we are waiting. I’m going to choose to not panic and to not get wrapped up in fear. I’m going to choose to say positive.

Hey fellow waitlisters we got week 2 in our pocket. Just want to check in to say stay focused and believe it’s possible… I know there are some waitlisters who are hoping to get an admission spot but their families maybe unsure whether or not they can afford it. Well keep your head up anyways and BELIEVE that everything will work out for your good. Remember we are all still in the game!

Waitlisting can make a person question their worth especially when you really wanted to attend or have been dreaming of attending for many, many years. No matter what ends up happening, you are already good enough and don’t ever question your worth. Week 3 is in the bag, and we are still in the game.

As the month of May approaches and people declare their colleges, hopefully waitlisters will be contacted sooner than later if spots become open for admission. Best wishes to you all.

Hi fellow waitlisters! Anyone heard anything yet?

@journalcollege No I haven’t heard anything yet but hopefully we will hear something real soon!

Hi waitlisters! So I was waitlisted last year and was not given a reply until the end of summer - August. i know, it sucks;( Unfortunately, the email had said that they were no longer accepting any more students. However, I was able to reapply for the Spring Semester using the same application…and was accepted!

Although I did not accept the offer due to their lack of financial aid offer, I’ll be here to help! ask me anything!

@dreamschool211 do you know of any other people who were waitlisted and got in last year? and how long did it take them to find out?

I actually do not know any other people who were waitlisted. This is what part of the email said: “Due to the high response rate from fall admitted students, our fall class has been filled. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer you a place for the Fall 2016 semester and we do not anticipate any activity off of our waitlist, as the waitlist is officially closed.”

I got this email on August 18, 2016
