Hi, I'm new here
I just want to gage my chances of acceptance into RMC. I'm going into grade 11 this year, and I'm currently in cadets. I'm not too sure if I should mention I'm in cadets at the recruiters, because I'm not exactly moving up the chain of command after 3 years (still an LAC). Would they look at this negatively?
Well my grades at school are pretty much average (low 70's for math, mid 80's to 90's for everything else), although I'm in an academic program (International Baccalaureate) and it has an emphasis on extracirriculars, philsophy and higher level academics. You have to complete a minimum of 180 CAS (Creativity, Action and Service) hours. I'm hoping this is a big plus for me, as this program requires me taking french throughout highschool and gaining fluency.
My athletics hasn't been that great the last couple years, although I'm slowing getting back into shape. I'm starting fencing lessons, and an avid snowboarder.
I've read the engineering program is quite competitive and difficult. My math is not necessarily weak, but it's not my greatest strength. I'm much more adept at the sciences. I'm interested in chemical engineering, although I would settle for a chemistry degree.
I hope I have a shot at RMC, because I've been hoping to go to this school since I've heard about it. It's also the main reason I joined cadets. I'm basically just wondering what else I should do to increase my chances. I'm going to a recruiters as soon as my parents have time to drive me there.
Also I'm interested to hear about experiences from specifically female cadets at RMC because in case you couldn't tell I'm a female
