Entering RMC this fall! (2011)

[DanaChoi]

I just created this thread because I'm curious about everyone else who got accepted to RMC like me ... now that the application process is done we don't have to fish through pages and pages of posts regarding ESSAY, INTERVIEW, aptitude test, etc etc etc.  man that whole process was such a ball buster. Thank god all of the paperwork and the long interview is done and OVER WITH!!!
SO anywho, YES, TELL US your trade, and where you're coming from!

I'll start bahaha. So I got accepted to RMC as Signals Officer and I'm coming from TORONTO!


*******************
alright so for those of you who are wondering when we will be getting our joining instructions package, INFORMATION IN GENERAL, I called CFRC Toronto and they told me that we get EVERYTHING on the day of our ceremony. Mine is on July 20th, so I guess that applies to all the people from GTA?

and yes of course, i'm sure everyone knows that our orientation camp will take place at CFLRS from august 15th - 26th! Then, we'll be heading to Kingston! =)

[2011Applicant]

2011Applicant are you completing just your first year at St Jean and subsequent years at Kingston? Because I am very interested why or how some of us were chosen to do so, and what the transfer from schools is like.

That's what my file manager told me at least.
He said it's a first common year at RMC St Jean and then subsequent at Kingston.
Also he said something about it being because they ran out of beds in Kingston, so the overflow goes to St Jean. This makes sense though, cause they were accepting a lot more RMC ROTP than previous years.
I'm going to ask about the transfer when I go in to sign my papers on 20 July; it's been kind of confusing to me as well.

I did my first year at RMCSJ and then transferred over to RMC so I can speak to that. The transfer between the schools is a lot smoother now then it was when I first did it two years ago but you will still obviously have some adjusting to do. In terms of how they decide who goes to RMCSJ vs RMC that is somewhat of a mystery and I can't help you with that.

If you have any more specific questions feel free to ask.

That's odd, I had heard that they accepted significantly less this year. But I suppose thats all hearsay really.

RMC Kingston, Pilot. I'll be leaving Prince George, BC, and I will also be swearing in on the 27th of July at YVR. See you then.

It's really hard to quote some of the things that recruiters tell you, because everyone seems to hear something different.
The exact number I got was 473 acceptances out of ~3000. Whether or not that is more or less than normal is beyond me.
