<p>Don’t let a school’s overall test score averages mislead you. Universities that offer a wide variety of majors (including some easy majors) are going to have some students with lowish scores attending. My kids go to their big state flagship. However, their majors are engineering and math. The kids with the lower test scores are not in their majors. </p>
<p>Also, don’t assume that privates are better than publics. That’s not true. There are many publics that are better than many privates.</p>
<p>However, Marquette is a good school.
It’s Jesuit and a Jesuit education is very good. :)</p>
<p>However, since law school is in your future, you may want to minimize any loans for undergrad. Can you afford Marquette? Will your parents pay for it?</p>
<p>If money is an issue, you should also apply to some good schools that will give you big assured merit for your stats. Those schools can be your financial safety schools.</p>
<p>Spending less for undergrad may make law school more affordable for you.</p>
