Preparing for a possible future in the RMC

[Wic]

I'm interested in possibly attending the RMC for a BA in Sept 2012, and I just had some questions. I completed high school in 2010, my average was probably around 80-85 percent (86 in English 12, 88 in history 12, 80 in lit 12, and around 80 in bio 12). Would these marks get me accepted if I can prove I'm and intelligent and hardworking individual? Secondly when should begin my application process and is there anything I can do between now and then to increase my chances of acceptance? Thanks.

Search the forums and talk to the CFRC. No one here can give you definitive answers.

Yes, an average like that you are eligible to get accepted to RMC. However, work on rounding out your application as well. Volunteering, sports, music etc. They will also look at how you perform on your medical, CFAT and interview.(ACSO Exam and ASC if you're applying for ACSO or Pilot.)

Get your application in during September. Allows for room in case of complications in your application

I also saw that you need math 12 to be accepted into a BA at RMC. Is that for any specialization, or just for the math heavy ones (ie. Business admin) ?
