Marquette has a long history of preparing undergraduates for professional school. To better serve some of our students interested in dentistry, Marquette has developed the Pre-dental Scholars Program, an accelerated program for students to receive the benefits of a liberal arts education while enjoying conditional acceptance to Marquette's School of Dentistry. Pre-dental Scholars complete bachelor's and dental degrees in seven years rather than the eight years normally required. This scholarship is available to students whose high school rank is in the top 25 percent. Students must have a minimum SAT combined score of 1280 or a minimum ACT composite score of 27 (with individual scores above 24). Applicants applying under the test-optional policy are eligible to apply and will be given equal consideration. The average cumulative unweighted high school GPA for semi-finalists was 3.95.
