Very well, put eadad. May I add that even though Marquette has never been considered an “elite” school, even in my smallish circle of friends there are quite a few who have gone on to have graduate school classmates and work colleagues from Ivy League and other top tier schools. They include-
-A vice president at NBC-Universal
-The founder of an international relief agency (who did his graduate work in Biomedical Engineering at Stanford)
-Two Partners at Accenture
-A Fulbright Scholar that went on to be a foreign service officer
-Two attorneys that attended Harvard Law School

As the CFO of a division of one of the largest international service companies in the world, I feel like the “loser” among my MU friends!

My own husband, an MU grad, went on to the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business and held his own with classmates that did their undergrads at Stanford, Harvard, etc.

I can say with confidence that a bright, dedicated student will not be hindered in any way by choosing Marquette over a school with a more prestigious reputation.
