Hey all, I'm considering applying to the US Merchant Marine Academy and was wondering about the ACT scores they generally accept. Does anyone know what kind of scores are competitive or required for admission?
The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy doesn't explicitly state a minimum ACT score requirement for admission, but looking at their general admissions stats can provide you with a clearer picture of the competitive score range.
In previous years, the average ACT composite score for accepted students tended to be around 27-29, suggesting that most successful applicants achieved scores within that range. However, keep in mind that achieving a score in this range does not guarantee admission. The admissions process takes into account other factors such as academic achievements, extracurricular involvement, leadership experience, and physical fitness.
In terms of preparation, if your ACT score is already within or above this range that's a great start. If not, remember that setting study goals, practicing, and potentially retaking the ACT can help improve your score. Good luck on your journey!
