I'm also a military officer. Pepperdine seems to be military friendly.

Hey everyone long-time lurker here. I was WLed Friday. Does anyone know how much Pepperdine utilizes their wait list? Thanks!

Do you mind sharing your stats? Still waiting to hear back and starting to get a little nervous..

Hey guys - applied to Pepperdine a couple weeks ago and I noticed that the status checker says they require a paper CAS for LSAC. They'll request that and LSAC will send it automatically, right? Or do I need to do something?

Just got an unsolicited increase in scholarship for $3000

LSAC will send it automatically. Just might take them a little while since a lot of people applied at around that time.

Okay, that's a relief. Thanks! And congrats on your scholly increase - curious if you deposited yet? Is this a strategy on their part to lock in admitted students who are still waiting on other schools?

Pretty sure. I haven't deposited yet as I'm not 100% sure what school I would like to go to. I am also still planning on trying to negotiate an increase from schools.

The original one and this new one is called Dean's Merit. Congrats on getting more $!

I put my first deposit in already, but I didn't need to negotiate since they offered the YRP to me. If any of you ultimately decide to attend let me know.

Hey everyone. Applied to Pepperdine in mid- December. I was told that I'd receive a decision in 6-8 weeks. It's been over that time period. Has this happened to anyone else?

Does anyone know if they offer a travel stipend?

Does anyone know if they offer a travel stipend?

They include a "travel expense scholarship" letter with the admitted student packet for those students traveling more than 250 miles they will reimburse up to $400 for air travel ad hotel costs. It's not an outright reimbursement but rather a credit towards first semester tuition with submission of receipts. Is that what you were asking?

Oh, nice! I figured it would be for out-of-state only - it's nice that they factor in mileage since I'm in-state but 400 miles away.

FINALLY went into review today after 3 weeks sitting incomplete. The status checker says I should receive a decision in 2-3 weeks - does that timeline hold up to what those of you who've been accepted experienced? Particularly interested in hearing timelines from anyone who applied after Jan. 1.

[knowcompinc]

Yes my response time was less than 3 weeks from the date of submission, they were the first of 9 schools that I applied to in a 2 day period to render decision.

Okay, great, that's good to hear - thanks!

Accepted on 02/01. I'm touring the campus on Wednesday. Going to try to do some scholarship negotiations while there.

Has anyone anyone tried negotiating scholarships yet? What was the outcome?

I took a tour last week and stopped by the financial aid office to try to negotiate $$. They told me that they don't negotiate scholarship money, nor will they look at offers you may have gotten from other schools. I was informed though that it is possible to get an unsolicited bump in scholarship money, depending on which students accept their seat offers in April. Hope this helps.
