Abstract:
The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy Candidate Application (KP-2-65) is required to obtain admission to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. The application consists of three parts. Part I of the application is completed by individuals wishing to be admitted as students to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. It is used to pre-screen applicants for basic eligibility and to enter them into the Department of Defense medical system. Part I is usually submitted to the USMMA Admissions Office approximately one month before Parts II and III. The information on Parts II and III of the application is used by the USMMA admissions staff and its Candidate Evaluation Board to select the best qualified candidates for the Academy. Part II is completed by the applicant and Part III is completed by an official at the secondary school where the applicant attends or has attended. Selection of applicants for appointment is made in the order of merit. The order of merit is determined by: the score on the required college entrance examination; an assessment of the applicant’s academic background; and by other factors considered by the USMMA as effective indicators of motivation and the probability that the applicant will complete the Academy’s course of instruction.
