<p>Decision letters are being sent today. If you have not joined go to this facebook link <a href="https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/150484828378292/%5B/url%5D">https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/150484828378292/</a></p>
<p>Good luck! Hope everyone here gets accepted!!</p>
<p>I saw in previous years someone posted that if you have the next steps tab you are accepted? Can anyone confirm that this is true? I have the tab but not the forms attached to it…</p>
<p>That is correct of previous years (accepted or waitlisted). This year they said on the facebook page that all accounts had been reset to include the tab. But I would not be able to confirm. I do know that as long as you can sign into cheqmarq with the provided ID you are still being considered for admission.</p>
<p>Do you think it could be possible that those who were accepted have forms under the next steps tab, while those who don’t were rejected? Because it seems that those who got an acceptance letter today have the forms. I could be over analyzing this but did anyone else notice this?</p>
<p>newsdrms, we still are able to log into checkmarq with the provided id, will we get the admission letter soon? i don’t see the forms under next step - one point i saw the form to pay tuition and all other information not anymore :(</p>
<p>@harbertm2012 & Hsebckrider Sorry would not know it seems they changed the way they reset the checkmarq site this year.</p>
<p>The Admissions Department has specifically said that there is no trick to knowing one’s status and that the admissions letter is the only way to determine. I think they may have seen some clues sneak out in the past. Letters began arriving on Saturday, many today especially here in metro Chicago. If you applied before December 1, expect to hear this week.</p>
<p>Daughter wait-listed, school of nursing, any thoughts? Suggestions?<br>
This was her first choice.</p>
<p>Son 2 applied for direct admission to DPT program and was accepted to business school. Does that mean he wasn’t accepted to the DPT program? Also, were scholarship awards included in acceptance letters? Son 2 and Son 1 had similar stats; Son 1 received a large award last year, but there was no mention of a scholarship in Son 2’s letter. You’d think since they don’t offer early decision, they’d have everything ready to go. Son 2 has been waiting for this letter, which is by far the last one he’ll hear from.</p>
<p>@ChiliMN The Ignatius scholarship (merit aid) is notified 2 to 3 weeks after admisson notice. You should also file the fafsa for S2 if S1 got grants. There are some other competitive scholarships go to this link: [url=<a href=“http://www.marquette.edu/explore/scholarships.shtml]Scholarships”>Scholarships and Scholars Programs // Undergraduate Admissions // Marquette University]Scholarships</a> | Marquette University<a href=“must%20be%20completed%20by%20Feb.%2015”>/url</a>. As for the DPT program he should have applied to College of Health Sciences, but I suggest you call the admissions office. Join the facebook page (link at the beginning of the thread) there is a lot of information there.</p>
<p>Thanks for the timeline info on scholarships. I’m fairly sure he applied specifically for the direct-entry DPT program, with business listed as a second (or third) option.</p>
<p>My sister got wait listed on her admission to Marquette, she has 4.0 GPA at Providence Catholic High School and a 25 on her ACT, she’s in the top 20 percent of her class. What do you think her chances are of getting in from the wait list? And if possible does anyone know what is required to have gotten in outright? She’s pretty upset about the whole thing and I don’t know where else to go for some answers, any help would be appreciated.</p>
<p>@BlackHawkFan Would be very hard to say it depends on all aspects of the application (icluding the essay). What college did she apply to? If she applied to one of the very hard direct admit programs like nursing / DPT they are very hard to get admitted. Her chances will depend on the amount of people who commit and the pool that decides to remain in the waitlist. If she really wants attend Marquette then she should remain in the waitlist.</p>
<p>I have heard whispers that this year’s class is exceptionally strong and it is known that last year’s yield (the ratio of enrollment/admitted students) was very high. MU started with something like 2100 Frosh last year . . . about 100 more than ‘ideal’. As a result, I suspect that admission standards went up somewhat.</p>
<p>The wait list issue is a tough one. I agree with the previous post that if one is wait listed to one of the smaller colleges (Nursing, Health Science, etc.) that your chances of getting in are modest. I would not expect a 25 ACT to make the cut. For the larger schools (Arts & Sciences), openings sometimes do happen.</p>
<p>I will be graduating from the College of Nursing in May. What the College of Nursing fails to tell you is that if you do not get accepted into the nursing program before the start of the Fall semester you basically have a 0% chance of transferring into the program later. They accept 1-2 transfer students each YEAR and 60-80 apply each year for transfer. In the end people spend time taking classes or pursuing majors they want nothing to do with hoping for the college to accept them and when they don’t they end up having to rethink their college path and it can often times leave them behind a semester or two depending on how many times they choose to switch majors in the process.
I think May 1st? Is the deadline for letting MU know if you will be attending. That will be when the “accepted” applicants either show up or don’t and depending on where your daughter is on that list she may get accepted over the summer.<br>
Unfortunately if her dream is nursing, I wouldn’t wait around for Marquette and if I (or anyone I knew was in the situation your daughter is in) I would suggest attending MSOE, Concordia or Alverno (although they are heavily theory based and not as much clinical). If nursing is your true passion is life there is no reason to wait around for Marquette to realize that you are going to be a great nurse and would be beneficial to the program. Enroll in the programs that want you now!</p>
<p>I am majoring in biomedical engineering. I have been accepted to Drexel (some merit $) Case Western (some merit $), Marquette and Purdue (OOS, no aid.)
I have a tough decision to make as all 4 have some positives. I cannot find a place where I can compare student reviews on all 4.</p>
<p>thericarlson, you will never find meaningful comparisons of all 4 of these schools in one place. I researched BME programs with my son (now a sophomore) and looked briefly at all of these and in depth at Marquette. These are very different schools in different environments. At this point the hard analysis of facts is there in front of you. What shouold tip the scale for you is your gut reaction to the visits which I’m sure you have made to every school. Trust your instincts and go for it.</p>
<p>thericarlson - all four schools offer excellent engineering programs so I doubt you’ll have any regrets about the programs themselves. Fully embrace whatever decision you make and don’t play the what-if game once enrolled. Marquette, Drexel, and Case are all very urban campuses in the middle of large cities, with Purdue being more of a college town. I strongly recommend a co-op program and I think Marquette has the edge here. Try to spend class time along with an overnight at your top choices if possible. You really can’t get the vibe of a school from a 4-5 hour visit.</p>
