You will not have any problem at all getting into Maine Maritime with your GPA. Swamp Assassin is telling it like it is. I’ve been there for a couple of company seminars, it is in the middle of nowhere. I see you play football, their team runs the option, and would be a nice distraction from your studies if you made the team. Again, I never met an engineer from there that was not well respected in the industry. Many moons ago I had two cadets from there riding my vessel, unfortunately we got tagged by a minor hurricane “Juan” that had a crazy,unpredictable path. They did just fine. One of them was a football player named “Eric” . I was in our office some years later and the dispatcher said I have a package. “Eric” remembered I liked to collect hats and sent me one from his office in Houston. He transitioned from boats to shoreside and was working with a respected oil broker.
