*I am new to this forum, and I sincerely apologize in advance if there are already numerous posts like this.
I've been skimming through some pages on this forum, and I still felt the need to ask some questions.
To put it real simple, I'm currently 17 years old (Grade 12), and I want to become a pilot through the ROTP program at RMC.
I did a little bit of searching on my own, but it didn't really satisfy my curiosity/confusion. I guess I'm pretty much jumping into this blindly. :-[
I'm not very strong in Maths or Sciences, so I want to go into the Arts field, and the prerequisites state that I need English 12 and Math 12 (Preferably Calculus). So does that mean I can submit my application with English 12, Calculus 12, and two other random courses?
Also, if RMC starts looking at applications around October, which is in the middle of the first term, how are our marks judged?
I've heard that RMC looks for well-rounded people when selecting applicants. I feel as though that I'm not a very strong applicant for that. I just want your cold, hard, non-sugarcoated opinions on chances for an applicant like me. Here are my traits:
+ In school, I can maintain around 90% in average.
+ I have been playing on the school volleyball team for since Gr. 9. (Received MVP medal in Gr. 10)
+ I have taken and still am taking leadership-related courses at school.
+ A few club activities at school, may start a club right now.
+ Leadership at church
+ Work experience
- No volunteering. Is it too late to do some now?
- Didn't take part in student government or council.
- No cadets... :-\
Could anyone with experience with the procedures of becoming a pilot please share their knowledge with me?
Any other tips and information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
