2025 Marquette US News Ranking

[Herman Cain]

US New Rankings coming out soon. Last year MU was a solid 86.

What is the Scoop Prediction for this years ranking?

[Galway Eagle]

I think with our current strategy we stay between high 70s and mid 80s. We'd need to add a med school or have a huge jump in their KPIs to get to the next notch up.

77

69, hey?

Safely below DePaul's RPI.

ND sucks

The WSJ rankings that came out last week had MU at 55 and UW Madison at 73.

We're strong in their "salary impact score".  95.

[MU82]

People are saying that if we're not #1, it's rigged.

[Jay Bee]

Take Dayton's 25 to it

From what I understand, Marquette's freshman class was about 10% larger than the year's prior.

[The Sultan]

Marquette retained a record number of last year's freshman to their sophomore Fall - over 91%. That shows that they are doing a great job recruiting students that can succeed at the school, and have done a wonderful job giving those students a sense of place on campus.

That figure, I would guess, blows a lot of their competitors' out of the water. Excellent work by the school.

Way more important than any ranking honestly. Glad they are promoting the hell out of it.

Considering at least 7% were shot dead, that's a big win

And by dental schools students, to boot.

Good to see the university adopting Shaka's methods on a larger scale.

any concrete numbers for the incoming class yet? MU should have hit its census date by now.

And how are we doing with residential students? I know one of the reasons O'D closed was they didn't need it due to more local commuter students enrolling.

Not saying it has anything to do with O'Ds but I saw reports this year that drinking was down for 20 somethings. Hitting the brewers and distillers materially.

I don't have 10 day numbers, but I have no reason to believe they are substantially different.

O'D as in O'Donnell Hall, not the bar. I know they closed it a few years ago due to not needing it and the basement is being used as the rec center while Helfaer is being rebuilt. I have friends, family, and coworkers who have kids at state schools where dorms are overcrowded due to large incoming classes.

LOL. Shows where my head is. So, "never mind".

Well, when I would tell my dad I was "at The Gym" it wasn't to play pick up ball, LOL!

My son is a HS senior, so we're in the thick of early applications and campus tours.

We toured 9 schools .. MU's tour was in the upper half, but we got in the car and he said "yeah, sorry, I'm not going there."   He wants to get out of the Milwaukee area, I can't blame him.

We toured UW .. he wanted a sweatshirt, but I made him buy that with his own money as my retinas were burning in the Badger shop.   It's his safety school.

Attending UW-Madison will help Marquette's cause

Out of curiosity, what other schools is he looking at? And wherever he goes, I'm sure he'll still be rooting for MUBB

My wife and I have been talking up MU to her niece who is a junior in HS. Unfortunately, her mom is a professor at a Big Ten school and a Hahvahd grad (as is her dad) and they won't even let my wife take her to visit MU...but she's going to take her anyway.
