Marquette's holistic admission review considers academic achievement in conjunction with a student's unique talents, leadership and service activities, application essay, school profile, letters of recommendation and any other information a student wishes to submit, including test scores. The data offered on this page are aimed at helping students inform what materials would best suit their applications for admission.
The distributions below display admitted student data collected from the previous two years. For each heading, you will see the admitted student distribution presented across quartiles (i.e., one quarter of students had a GPA of 3.39 or below, the middle half of students had a GPA between 3.39 and 3.85, and one quarter had a GPA of 3.85 and above).
