If anyone has applied to the Merchant Marine Academy before, can you let me know when you received your acceptance letter? I'm anxiously waiting and trying to gauge the timeline for hearing back from them.
While there can be some variability in when colleges release their decision letters, the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy typically sends out decisions in late March or early April. This is consistent with many other service academies and highly selective institutions. However, it's worth noting that the timeline can shift slightly from year to year based on the volume of applications and other administrative factors.
The process can indeed be nerve-racking, but make sure to be patient and have a back-up plan in place while waiting for the decision. Best of luck to you!
