Strategy tips for applying to Massachusetts Maritime Academy

The first 2 tips apply to all applicants. Your personalized strategy requires your profile — build your free list to unlock it.

Demonstrated Interest
Visit the MMA campus in Buzzards Bay in person if you can, because admissions staff notice students who show up for tours and open houses and the tight-knit regimental community is much easier to articulate in your application after you have experienced it firsthand.
Essay Strategy
Use your personal statement to directly address why you want to live and train in a structured regimental program, since MMA expects students to thrive under a military-style daily schedule and vague interest in the sea will not distinguish you from other applicants.
