Admission Averages Data

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.
