Editor's notes

  • Your essay and your recommender matter more here than at most public schools. Mass Maritime's Common Data Set rates both as very important, level with GPA and rigor. Use the essay to show you understand the life you're signing up for: a uniform every day, a regiment, and for some majors a sea term every year.
  • Pick your two majors with care. You can't apply undecided, and you're reviewed first for your first choice. Apply by Nov. 1 if you're serious; early action is non-binding and gets you priority for merit money.
