<p>does pepperdine offer any scholarships solely based on merit/academics? if so; what are they? if not; im screwed lol.</p>
<p>The highest academic scholarship is the Regents Scholarship, which is for 20k a year, for four years. This past year they awarded 30 Regents Scholarships - I don't know if the number's constant, or fluxuates each year. I know there are other academic scholarships as well, but I don't know any details on them.</p>
<p>are my stats promising for a scholarship? </p>
<p>ACT-33
SAT-2100(can improve?)
GPA-4.8 weighted
Rank-6/646
EC's good; essays great</p>
<p>I'd say you look good; your scores and GPA are all higher than mine (29 ACT, 2030 SAT), and I got Regents. They never told us the specifics the scholarship is awarded on, just that it's academic based, so I don't know if they take anything else into account or not.</p>
<p>Church of Christ affiliation seems to help too.</p>
<p>I believe there are $17K merit scholarships awarded in addition to the $22K top scholarships.</p>
<p>Um does your scholarship notification come with your letter? I have a 2300 SAT and A's/A-'s at a top New England boarding school, plus I'm supposedly a speech team recruit. I thought I would be in contention for a scholarship at least...I applied BEFORE the priority deadline too...</p>
<p>I was told that the scholarship is based strictly on a combination of your test scores and GPA. Don't know if they use weighted or non weighted. I would assume unweighted (4.0 scale) since every school seems to weight grades differently.</p>
<p>ennaxor that is good news that you got regents. I'm hoping my daughter gets it as Pepperdine is her top choice. Don't know if I can justify 45K/year, when other schools have offered merit scholarships if she doesn't get Regents.</p>
<p>Caliboi1313, glad to see some other Chicago area kids considering Pepperdine!!</p>
<p>No, I didn't get any scholarship information with the initial acceptance.</p>
<p>Last year I received the acceptance letter on a Friday, and early the next week (Monday or Tuesday) I got a phone call from Pepperdine telling me I was given the Regents Scholarship. I think a few days after that I got a letter specifically informing me about Regents, and then I didn't hear any more about other scholarships (such as the small ones I got for being Church of Christ) until I got my financial package letter, which was a couple weeks later.</p>
<p>I got Regent's
ACT 34
SAT 2110
GPA 4.0 unweighted
Rank 2/450ish</p>
<p>We're pretty similar on stats, so i'd say you've got good chances</p>
<p>NewWave,</p>
<p>Did you get a phone call or letter? If a letter, what state are you in? D is waiting to hear about the Regents before she commits to Malibu Reception. Hopefully, we'll hear soon!!</p>
<p>I hope I get a good scholarship. It's the only way I would go to Pepperdine.</p>
<p>What are your stats like Piano?</p>
<p>I have a 4.3 GPA and a 29 ACT.</p>
<p>Your number are consistent with those that got the scholarship last year. Good Luck to you!!</p>
<p>Thank you, and good luck to your daughter as well.</p>
<p>I got a Regent's scholarship as an incoming freshman this year.</p>
<p>I still haven't heard anything... just great. Probably didn't even get anything.</p>
<p>I got Regents...2300 SAT (800 cr/770m/730 w (79mc/8 essay)), Subject tests: 800 Spanish 800 Latin 790 US History. 5's on US History, English Lit English Lang, Spanish Lang and Latin: Vergil AP's (no other AP's taken.) NE Prep school (so no GPA/class rank etc.) Deciding between Duke and Pepperdine. U Penn and Rice are pretty much out of the running, but that's just my thought today. U Miami's been out of the running pretty much since day 1 ;-) .</p>
