Maine College Admissions Association

The Maine College Admissions Association is an organization of professional admissions directors and counselors representing most of Maine's public and private institutions of higher learning.

The group meets twice a year to discuss important issues that impact the college admissions process; federal regulations, marketing, financial aid, aspirations, the selection process, and outreach programs.

Though competitors for Maine students, the group pools their knowledge and experience to insure the prospective student, their families, guidance personnel, and teachers receive the information necessary to make an educated and confident college choice.

All Maine colleges are members of the National Association for College Admissions Counseling. We observe the NACAC Principles of Good Practice, the basis for all association policies, provides clear ethical guidelines for high school and college counseling professionals.

Outreach is an important component of the MCAA. Outreach programs include:

• college consortium tours for counselors,
• college aspiration programs for high schoolers,
• service academy nights
• admissions programming for students and parents,
  • application process,
  • the essay,
  • financial aid,
  • the college search,
  • the campus visit,
  • the interview,
  • admissions evaluation process,
