What is the acceptance rate for USMMA for qualified applicants?
Take it with a grain of salt, as I have only heard through unofficial sources, but I believe KP tries to diversify their geographical representation in the regiment. So if you're from a state without many applicants, as long as you meet the minimum standards, you have a greater chance of being accepted.
Have some fun with statistical analysis here, from the primary source:
Class Profile | U.S. Merchant Marine Academy
Summary Profile Class of 2026 The Class of 2026 reported to the Academy on Friday, 08 July 2022. The total incoming class was 253. The following is a brief summawww.usmma.edu

Great info above @USNA2023
I wonder of those 1661 applications how many have incomplete applications? On average over the last 5 years there were 1045.4 incomplete applications per the 5 year class profile on USMMA website. The regiment didn't happen to say how many applicants currently meet selection criteria?
@USNA2023 THANK YOU for sharing this!! My son was put on HOLD status last night. I was scouring the forum looking to see if I could find numbers and continue to keep his hopes up! He has been so discouraged lately because our state (Ohio) has shut down school until at least April 3rd. They have stated that it may not even resume then or the rest of the year. That has been such a disappointment as his senior year has been cut short and cancelled a lot of things so far. I keep telling him, at least the hold status is not a DECLINE. Being optimistic has been difficult lately!!View attachment 4545
This was just sent out to the regiment as part of a weekly email
