Test-Optional Admissions

Guided by our values 

To keep a ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ education accessible to a diverse population of students, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions offers domestic and international undergraduate applicants the choice to include standardized test scores as part of their application. &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

Test-optional review process 

Marquette's holistic admission review will continue to consider 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. Students may choose to submit their ACT and/or SAT scores to be included among the materials evaluated in the review process. Students not submitting a test score will not be penalized for making this choice. &²Ô²ú²õ±è;
 
Applicants are encouraged to review our admission profile from past years for guidance on whether to submit a standardized test score. All applicants, regardless of test score submission, will be given equal and full consideration for admission and scholarships, including the merit-based Père Marquette Scholarship. &²Ô²ú²õ±è;
 
Marquette’s test-optional policy simply provides students a choice. Applicants will decide how best to represent their capacity for success at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ. We strongly believe students are who they are because of their life experiences, work ethic, class rigor and engagement in and out of the classroom. &²Ô²ú²õ±è;
