She had a 1520 SAT superscore 1470 high…no ACT score. They typically take 98th percentile and up is what counselor said. Lots of Extra curriculars and all Dual Credit, Honors and AP classes Junior and Senior year: 3.8 unweighted, 4.8 weighted GPA. We visited Pepperdine over Thanksgiving break. She loved the campus and really felt like she would fit in with the student body. She felt at home. She is not opposed to taking the christian classes. She is raised Catholic. The positive from my perspective is she will be studying and in a safe environment…dry campus. But close by Santa Monica and Los Angeles…so best of both worlds. She has always talked about going there without visiting and she was extemeley impressed when she finally got to check it out. Have to wait and see if she gets in and what she gets .

State Schools: She not big on Texas schools, but she applied as back up. Visited Alabama and could totally see herself there also. The school was majestic with southern charm and the student body…super friendly. She liked that they offer lots of merit money and also the fact that only half the students from Alabama…with the rest from elsewhere.
Reviews are very good for Alabama.

Getting into University of Texas…if accepted, she would have to consider. They are #6 in the country in chemical engineering, but extremely competitive. My daughter is top 10% , but not top 7
