I'm curious about MARS as well. Does anyone know when the next selection for MARS is?

Got it. On the bright side, I was diagnosed with ADD when I was a kid. When I brought it up, she just brushed it off since it was when I was younger. If you go in there saying that yes you had them as a kid, yes you were diagnosed but now as an adult you don't have them anymore, they might...

Marchog, This is just my opinion, but if you don't get them anymore, and if you haven't been officially diagnosed, then there's no need to bring it up.

Someone needs to take this thread out behind the barn and shoot it.

The Test Self Descriptor (TSD) that the CAF is now using during the application process is specifically designed to determine how suitable our personality is for the military. You'll write this test early on in your application process. Although you will not be allowed to review the results...

Good luck!

What?

Call your MCC directly. Are you looking to add a 3rd or 2nd and 3rd? or replace a choice? Might require a new interview.

100-64.8=35.2 like I said, about a third. Says a third in the link as well. What I'm saying is that if you get on the merit list, you're in a much smaller group of people that didn't get dropped during the application process. Therefore you are no longer competing with all the applicants but...

Also, is it 10 applicants for every one spot or 10 merit listed applicants for every one spot?

There are a lot more spots for infantry as well so.

I agree it is more competitive. However, I don't think that the drop out rates as indicated on at the link I posted would be different.

Are you saying those drop out rates would be different now?

Looks like around a third of those 30,000 will be dropped before merit listed. That significantly changes the odds.

Take a look at this figure: http://www.oag-bvg.gc.ca/internet/English/att_20060502xe08_e_14438.html

Is that 30,000 reg force or does that include reserves? How many of the 30,000 are Officer apps? Either way, it's a lot better odds than 120/30,000. You gotta figure that a number of those 30,000 get cut somewhere along the way for not being competitive enough. And some quit the process along...

I feel the same. Can't wait to get to basic!

From what I gather, there are more spots available for those as well.

I would believe what the recruiter says above what you hear on these forums.
