Why Marquette: “I chose to attend Marquette University because of its strong biomedical sciences program, which aligns perfectly with my career goals in health and science. Additionally, the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) provides valuable academic and personal support that I’m excited to be a part of. Marquette’s location, close to home, allows me to stay connected with my family while pursuing my education. I was also fortunate to receive scholarships to allow me to attend Marquette and the University’s DI program offers me the opportunity to compete at a high athletic level while continuing my studies. Marquette’s dental program presents excellent opportunities for future study and professional growth, making it the ideal place for my academic and athletic aspirations.”
