I was waitlisted for the full time program last cycle. Marquette was my top choice so I waited it out all the way until Orientation (Mid August). Sent about 3 LOCI and called when appropriate to let them know how interested I was. I'm hoping this is beneficial to me in this cycle as Im applying part time now due to my job. I would recommened communicating to them that this is your top choice (if it is) and you will attend if offered admission and that may help! Good luck!!

Damn sorry to hear about that.

I got info about my "CheckMarq" and Marquette e-mail today, along with a seasons greetings stamp.

Well hopefully we still got a shot. I realize how unpredictable the waitlist is now and its discouraging...but it is what it is now and I definitely appreciate the suggestion to follow up and contact admissions! For now I'm just going to be thankful for everything else I have, try to stay positive, and enjoy the holidays. Good luck to everyone else!

Never got a letter, but got an email today letting me know that I was in. I applied PT on a whim, so I doubt I'll go, but I'll visit in February (probably) to get a better idea. Weird that I haven't gotten a letter yet.

I got an e-mail today as well but no letter even though the e-mail said that I should have recieved that package already

Email came Thursday, letter came Friday, and then package came today. Anyone have any info about switching from PT to FT?

Just got an email with the title " A gift for you from Marquette Law School" and was so hoping it was an acceptance.

Too bad it was just a fee waiver

It did state the Law School will be entirely closed from Dec 23 - Jan 2, so I hope I received a decision this week.

I'm applying to Marquette this cycle. Hopefully, it's not too late. I haven't received my LSAT score from December yet, but I'm hoping it's good enough to get me in. I have a 3.4 with some softs, like being President of French Club and being Secretary of the Law Society. You guys think I'm screwed if I got like a 155?

In general people on this board will tell you to automatically retake anywhere under a 165...it's the nature of the TLS beast. Check LSN for people with similar numbers in the past years applying to MU, or try LSP. A quick check of LSN (like, super quick) shows that you probably have an okay (about 50% based on the last three years) shot of getting in.

Thanks for the help. I'm hoping it's somewhere around 165, but the more I wait, the lower my hopes get. I was PTing 165-170s. But, who knows what the hell happened. I tend to set myself up for the worst.

Im not hanging around on Marquette's waitlist like I did last cycle (till Orientation). Im giving them until the first seat deposit then im out!

Does anybody know if Marquette takes the highest or average LSAT? I am receiving some conflicting information and was wondering if anyone knew for sure.

Just got back from visiting the new law school. Gorgeous building and the admissions person was super nice and informative. Also seemed very honest in her responses to my questions. I now am going to sit back for the long ride that is the waitlist.

Highest.

I applied November 15th and got my acceptance November 23rd. Holiday greeting card came in December. They seem so nice! Does anyone know when scholarship info comes out? I want to visit but not before I know about that...

Same! I want to hear about scholarships really bad. I am worried with my numbers, I might get very little. I heard Marquette is a little stingy with aid.

About a week to a week and a half.

This is going on the 8th week since I went complete. Their email said I would receive the decision by mail within 8 weeks, so I am hoping to hear this week.?
