Yes, this is true. When we toured with S23 at Delaware, the admission officer told my husband that they recalculate your GPA with their formula and rank all the TE applicants accordingly and then offer spots to the top 20 (or so) plus the next 20 are put on the TE waitlist. I can’t remember if SAT came into play or not. But their selection process was entirely based on stats.

Advice to this years applicants: ask the TE liaison officer about their selection process. What criteria they base their selection on? It’s different at every school. And it might change year to year. Knowing this will help you estimate your chances for TE at each school.

Hi, I’m looking for stats on kids who received TE at Marquette - has anyone seen any? Thanks!

If you look at that Google worksheet that @Excel_Dad posted (including a couple posts above yours), you will see that Marquette is on row 33 and that in column AK, @NOLAMom01’s kid received TE and what the kid’s stats were. Perhaps NOLAMom can share additional info?

Update: I see you were interested in student stats
this isn’t that but may be helpful

This pdf is found through a link provided on Marquette’s info page on TE website. I wish every school would post this - it is so helpful and their TE liaison would have fewer calls and emails!

Oh, that looks like an error. My daughter did not apply to Marquette, so no info from me. Though we are looking at it for my son Class of 2025!

Took the Marquette accept out of the excel!

Can you clarify something for me on the spreadsheet? If someone is listed as TE rejected - does that mean they were accepted into the college but not awarded TE, or rejected from the college and therefore were not awarded TE?

Accepted to the school but were not awarded TE

I think the Marquette accept was for @whatislovely.

I know someone whose child received it a few years ago. Was waitlisted and then pulled off the list and offered TE. Homeschooled with an SAT in the mid 1400s

I don’t remember anyone being rejected for admission in those stats, so it’d just be rejected for TE. Now, that said, a few of those stats (Syracuse, particularly, but I think there were a few others, though I can’t remember which) where the student was waitlisted for admission and rejected for TE. My own daughter was waitlisted at BU and rejected for TE. I know it happened to a few people, and quite a few at Syracuse last year.

I didn’t think I had seen anything on Marquette
 @NOLAMom01, see you in the Class of '25 apps
 we are visiting Marquett with my '25 daughter in October.

Good to know! That would match my daughter academically, though her activities are not high (she works, art club, aquarium club, and badminton - and that is enough for her)

I am trying to stay on top of things, as I have heard from other parents at my home institution that HR can be slow. So, submitted TE paperwork at the end of August and HR just approved everything. Applications on the TE have been entered and approved. Now, just waiting on my S24 to submit his early action applications to Syracuse, Seton Hall, American University and George Washington.

@rochachaa So Syracuse is only Early decision as far as I know. So hopefully he doesn’t do that.

True, Syracuse only has ED and RD. They don’t have EA – glad you pointed that out. My kid submitted his RD app to Syracuse last year in early October, along with the rest of his (mostly EA) apps. He got his admissions decision in late March along with the rest of the RD applicants. He ended up getting full tuition at Syracuse, so the early app didn’t seem to hurt. He was relieved to have his apps all done early, and had plenty of other college tasks to deal with anyway (honors, scholarships, etc). So if the kid is ready to submit, fire away! Just make sure the RD option is selected.

@coldwombat This is good to know. My daughter also wants to apply to Syracuse RD so I will have her get it in early. It would be very nice to have everything done before the end of the year.

It’s official, I can join you all here now. I thought I was going to have to wait until mid-October for my employer’s lottery, but learned today that due to an unbalanced import/export over the past few years, my employer is allowing all eligible employees to apply for TE this year. Woohoo! The first hurdle is done.
