Maine Maritime Academy Admissions

Maine Maritime Academy is moderately selective with a 57.65% acceptance rate. This means roughly four out of seven applicants gain admission, making it competitive but accessible for qualified students. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 1075-1275 on the SAT, with an average of 1175. The 82.03% retention rate suggests most students who enroll find what they expected. The academy seeks students genuinely committed to maritime careers, as the specialized curriculum demands dedication to seamanship, engineering, and ocean industries. Strong math and science skills matter here, but so does readiness for the academy's regimented, hands-on training environment that prepares future ship officers and marine engineers.
