I had this update today on my application:

[almightyloaf53]

Application Status: Denied USMMA/Federal REG

I understand I was rejected from the school but what does "Federal REG" mean?

Could be referring to The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)

Was everything up to date and submitted on time?

I have never seen this language before. Do you know if you were 3Q with a nomination? I would definitely contact Admissions and find out what this means. Best bet is probably to email them over the weekend. They are usually good about returning emails that await them first thing in the morning. Please let us know what you find out. Good luck in whatever path you take.

Here is the CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) section pertaining to USMMA admissions:

46 CFR Subpart C - Subpart C—Admission and Training of Midshipmen at the United States Merchant Marine Academy

Best guess would be you failed to meet one or more of the basic requirements under academics, physical performance or medical fitness necessary for consideration.
