Hey guys, I know you get this a lot. I'm just wanting a little encouragement about my application lol. Its been in for a few weeks now and im not expecting a response till at least march, but its nice to have something to look at and feel comforted until then.
I decided to base my application on the Four Pillar ideas that RMC holds dear. French, Academics, Leadership, and Physical.
Physicals:
Kickboxing
Boys senior soccer team
Weightlifting at school and with personal trainer
Bowling league
Intramural sports at lunch
Leadership:
Youth leadership group in town
Relay for Life Chairman
French play lead role
Grade 12 student rep
Pass tutor
Cadets
part time job
French:
French play
French up till grade 10 (in ontario thats an extra year than most)
Re learning french on a program at school and on home computer
Academics:
Things get a little hairy here
Marks ranging from 70 to 94
Always university level stuff
The thing with my marks, is that last year was not really good, I ended up failing calculus and chemistry and pulling a 70 in english and physics. My brother made things a living hell at home and it wasnt an accurate representation of my marks. Marks are usually in the low to high 80's. I wrote a note to the RMC board when I handed in my application explaining this and attached a midterm report with all my marks in the 80s. This is my second grade 12 year (wanted more time to buy a car, get more experience, and to prepare for RMC) so im trying to bring up my marks while improving in other fields.
The only thing fishy about my application is that a lot of the activities are only started within the past year in preperation for this. I've adapted really well to them, I have no spare time lol (my parents thought I would burn out, but I showed them I can take it
).
just wondering what you guys think of this application, my recruiter said it was quote on quote "good" but refused to give me any guarantees (I know you cant either) and couldnt suggest anything else I could do for this.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
