Test-Optional Admissions

Guided by our values 

To keep a ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵ 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 ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵScholarship. &²Ô²ú²õ±è;
 
Marquette’s test-optional policy simply provides students a choice. Applicants will decide how best to represent their capacity for success at ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵ. 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;
