<p>how many get in on the waitlist and do i even care?</p>
<p>sorry but sounds like this school is like the second, third even fourth choice for everyone and does not seem like anyone really cares if they go there?</p>
<p>that bothers me?</p>
<p>tell me if i am wrong cause i have othere choices and if pepperdine is full of kids that would rather go elsewhere, i don't know if i want to bother?</p>
<p>I was waitlisted and I am pretty upset about it. </p>
<p>I was in denial about what they look for in an applicant. I was above their average for SAT scores and GPA and was surprised to find myself on the waiting list. The only thing I can guess is that my volunteer hours and religious committment were not large enough.</p>
<p>I do not have the same attitude that Pepperdine is most peoples second, third, or even fourth choice for college. I see Pepperdine as a much less contemporary college expeirience. Obviously, with the lack of partying and large prescence of Christianity, the time at Pepperdine would be much different that the majority of colleges nationwide. I knew that if I got in I would have a tough choice to make, based on what I wanted to gain from four years at college. It's the same decision that all accepted students have to make. </p>
<p>You can use the time on the waitlist to decide which experience you want.</p>
<p>For me Pepperdine's always been where I wanted to go, since I was a little kid. That comes partly from my mom having gone there, as well as many people from my church. Not that I felt I had to go there because so many others have, but as I've visited the campus and learned more about the school, it's where I best see myself.</p>
<p>I must admit that Pepperdine is one of my backup schools. However, I think that Pepperdine is one of the best backups anyone could have!</p>
