How the Marquette rate is worked out

Marquette publishes its own admissions numbers for the Class of 2030: 3,686 applications, 480 interviewed, 196 offers, 100 enrolled. 196 divided by 3,686 is 5.3%. Source

This counts offers, so it is the share of applicants who were admitted. Fewer than that enroll, because some admitted applicants choose another school.

Marquette DAT scores and GPA

Marquette reports an average DAT Academic Average of 436 (Class of 2030, new DAT scale). These are on the DAT's newer three-digit score scale, so they can't be compared directly with the older 1 to 30 scores. Source

Marquette reports an average overall GPA of 3.77 (Class of 2030). The average science GPA was 3.70. Source

These describe admitted students, not cutoffs. See how they compare across schools in our average GPA for dental school guide, and work out your own with our AADSAS GPA calculator.
