<p>Do I have a shot at Pepperdine? I'm visiting this summer, but fell in love via the school's website and I’m interested in their international studies program. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>You have a good shot, definitely get that letter, community service and church is very important. They are not noted for good aid so make sure that is not a factor.</p>

<p>Your SAT's may be a bit low but you certainly have a lot of ECs to possibly compensate. I went to Pepp for Grad.. and one warning: It's even more beautiful than the website makes it seem. :)</p>
