Well I applied to RMC for the 2012-2013 year back in September. And selection results are starting to come out now. I've been informed that I was not selected in the first round of the selection board and the second round won't be announced till later this month. I thought my application was really strong so I'm wondering if anyone has any advice if it so happens that I don't get in this year so I can make my application stronger next year.
Here's more information about my application and what I have going for me:
I was an army cadet for 5 and a half years, staying in till I aged out this past February.
I was on the Cadet National Rifle team two summers in a row.
I was awarded the fittest female cadet award for BC in May 2011 and was 2nd fittest in Canada.
I climbed to the Base Camp of Mount Everest in October 2010.
I received my double Dogwood in English and French.
I took all sciences in High school and had an 88.3% average for grade 10 to 12 inclusive.
I shot on the Canadian Under 25 team in Brisbane, Australia for the World Long Range Championships in October 2011 and have been invited to shoot for Canada again in Barbados in May 2013.
I bike, run and do strength training on my own.
I peer tutored 2 full classes during my grade 12 year.
I also coached my cadet corps shooting team for 3 years as we did not have an officer able to coach.
I have completed and received my Gold Duke of Edinburgh's Award from the Governor General of Canada.
While in cadets I received a multitude of awards for physical fitness, leadership, instructional technique, citizenship and dress and deportment.
I was told I did well on the CFAT and went into my interview very confident. I looked up what I could on the trades I was applying for and did the best I could to answer the questions.
I received a letter stating that I was on the Merit list for RMC and am still worried that my application was not strong enough to get me in.
Any words of advice?
(forgot to mention I also had a part-time job during my grade 12 year along with cadets and coaching. I was a busy bee!)
