All that I am saying is that being and A student in grade 12, when the courses are hardest, they should overlook my mess ups when I was 14! I took all 3 university math’s(in the Ontario curriculum) with 80% above. I'm doing very well at one of the hardest institutions in Canada. I was already in the reserve and had complete my BMQ when I applied. But yet I was not good enough for the RMC because of academic reasons? Explain that to me? UfT and Queens thought I was. What, is the RMC full of elite academics where the CF thought I was incapable of coping with? Give me a break, who cares what you did in grade 9 and 10? Your 14/15? On top of that being constantly active playing AAA hockey, was student council vice president, and coached a little league team. I’m still applying for ROTP, and that last time I talked to the recruiters they where pretty confident that I would succeed, given my recent university transcript. But a lot of other young guys in my position would have been very turned off. That’s why the system should put more emphasis on the later years.
