After reading your review, it seems to me like the academy brought your life together and was thus a positive experience… why did you write in the negative section? |

Thought I would check this website-as I periodically do-because I find these reviews-and reviews of other schools-particularly interesting and entertaining. I do feel compelled to write some additional information. This comment has to do with "Getting In To" Mass. Maritime. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how type up a short comment regarding the admissions process and post it under the "Getting In To MMA" section, but nonetheless, I found my way. I digress.So, back to "Getting In To" Mass. Maritime. After attending Mass. Maritime Academy, I deeply regret not studying harder or pushing/challenging myself during high school. Unfortunately, I was a shy kid while in school-never went on any dates with girls-and didn't participate in many extra curricular activities. Looking back on my life, I think this was more of a psychological issue, as I always thought I was an unattractive person too and tended to be reclusive and not hang around with too many kids. Consequently, this was detrimental to me when I began applying to colleges. When I took the SAT, I got a combined score of ~850. Back then, the best possible score was a 1200. According to my best understanding, I think they have changed the scoring system so that you can get up to a max. of 2400 points! Anyway, you heard me right. A combined score of 850. That's ~450 in English and 400 in Math. Kids, if you are reading this, this is what happens when you DON'T PREPARE! Get involved in high school as much as possible and don't worry what other people think about you, etc. This will help develop you into the person you need to be. I digress.Mass. Maritime ended up accepting. Why, I don't know. They shouldn't have accepted me, as I was no where near prepared for college. I should have done another year of high school at a private school or something. Some people that I knew from high school did this. Unfortunately, I was not aware that you could do this, nor were my parents.
