Admissions Overview
SUNY Maritime is an open admission school with an 80% acceptance rate. Most applicants who meet basic requirements will gain admission. Students typically score between 1140-1300 on the SAT, with an average of 1220. The 26 ACT average falls in the solid range for public colleges. However, getting in is just the first step at this specialized maritime academy. The school seeks students committed to careers in shipping, marine engineering, and naval operations. Physical fitness matters here since cadets participate in regimental training. Men make up 88% of the student body, reflecting the traditionally male-dominated maritime industry. Strong math and science preparation helps given the technical nature of most programs.
