As a junior in high school, I'm trying to get a head start on my college applications. Could someone let me know when the application deadline for the Merchant Marine Academy is?
The application deadline for the United States Merchant Marine Academy is rolling, but for priority consideration, the recommended submission date is October 15 of your senior year in high school. It is worth noting, however, that completing an application for the Merchant Marine Academy is a multi-step process that involves obtaining a nomination, typically from a U.S. Representative or Senator, which can take several months to secure. So, it's good to start the process as early as possible, ideally in the spring of your junior year.
