transferring to pepp help

Hi! I am trying to transfer to Pepperdine in the spring, I will have 12/15 credit hours by the end of this semester as I will only be in cc for one semester than hopefully at Pepperdine, I wanted to ask I have heard that you automatically get in if you are affiliated with a church of Christ my church is not but I was able to get a recommendation letter from my pastor, will this still count? Even though it is not church of Christ? I’m super worried, I also sent in my photography portfolio as an extra and more than rec letter, and updated resume, should I try to schedule an interview? Any help appreciated
