Marquette's Next Freshman Class up 22% from 2021

[shoothoops]

This is Marquette's strategy and is what many private schools are doing now.  Focus your resources on areas from where you are likely to get the most students.

Sure they will still do the college fairs where people are sending out alumni because that is a low cost scenario, but admissions work is nearly a three year process now.  The goal is to make sure your professional staff knows each and every admitted applicant at some level.  That is resource intensive work and that requires concentrating on where you are getting the most bang for your buck.

Many national (and even more local regional) private schools don't have 74% of their student population from just two states.

Cool

My daughter was accepted at Marquette. But due to what she wants to do post grad and in life, UCF ended up as a better choice.
The one nice thing to see is that MU financial aid was in line with the other private universities she was accepted at (Loyola-NO, Hofstra, Fordham).
The pretzel Marquette sent as part of a congrats package was tasty and a nice touch! 

[Warrior of Law]

I don't think most observers would call MU a national school.  I'm sure they get a portion from CA and NY and that's only because 20% of the US population lives there. MU's future is it's past: MKE & Chicago area.

Way more do than don't.  Especially when you are that close to the third largest metropolitan area in the country.

I'm not the one who is routinely clowned on here.  Just trying to help you not get dunked on so much around here.

In this specific instance, you don't seem to understand what a "libelous situation" actually is.

But go off, king!

LOL, you state an assertion...I respond...and you want ME to provide links?

I said that Marquette has not improved its geographic diversity from the 74-75% from two states. This is a factual statement in response to the link provided that gave those numbers.

You then said those numbers were common at most private schools without providing facts to support your opinion.

I asked for examples. Do you have examples?

FFS, take it outside.

Link? Maybe start with Big East. I looked up St Johns. 72% came from the city and two surrounding counties.

UCF? Uh-oh. Orlando's violent crime rate is double the national average, and the property crime rate is more than double!

Seriously, though, I hope she has a great time and gets a great education there. Thanks for sharing the info about the aid packages.

As for MU's enrollment ...

This is something to be happy about.

Yes it is. We Are Marquette!

When has anyone bitching about a topic going off course ever changed people's behavior?

Hint: it doesn't.  Either report it or deal with it.

You and I both know that reporting it doesn't do squat.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

Well bitching about it doesn't either. 

So I guess you should just learn to deal with it.

Sure. And I would throw in Seton Hall. But that isn't eveb most of the Big East, let alone most private schools, which is what he said.

I am too busy (lazy) to look any more up, but you might want to read what you wrote in terms of this. You are the one who wrote many private schools dont have this number..

I did say that, AFTER his comment saying it was so, for most private schools. I didn't say it first. My initial comment was that Marquette's geographic diversity hasn't improved. The link the thread originator provided showed that.

At that point the other poster mentioned that this was the case with most private schools. (I knew that the number was different for many private schools)

And here we are without a long list of most private schools. I think that would have been posted by now.

You at least gave the Big East as an example, and I responded.

I am not obligated to provide such a list.

If you don't believe me, I don't give a sh*t.

Marquette not a national university and Creighton is a mid major.

MUScoop never fails to deliver. 

Where can I find the 'Earth is Flat' thread?

That was true when I applied. I only heard about Marquette from my cousin who lived in Indiana. It wasn't until Marquette became a national power in basketball during Al's tenure that Marquette became national brand so to speak.
