I graduated 2011 from RMC at the age of 38. If I can do it, so can anyone else. I lived in the shacks, did everything all the regular ROTP cadets did, etc. For those who are married already, it's a crapshoot as to what would happen, as there is no more live-off program as of this academic year...

As far as I'm aware, civilians have just as much chance as do military students of getting accepted into grad studies at RMC. Also, it is likely that there isn't the opportunity to do your masters in one year (depending on the dept, I think it is for MBA) because there are limited profs...

Oh, and regarding your contract, as the grad studies obviously adds time to your obligatory service, you'll be given the choice of signing for a 5 year or a 20 year contract. At least that's what everyone who got it my year was given - all but one signed the 5 year contract.

It's called the Post-Graduate on Scholarship (PG on Schol) program, and it's only available to ROTP cadets (civi U or RMC). You apply early in your fourth year, and your standing is based on your grades in second (must be 75% average) and third (must be 80% average) years, plus your military...

Inky, I know that there are many people who are able to maintain their grades during FYOP and first year, because I was one of them. I also know there are many that can't maintain their normal averages at first, and because no one warned them that might happen, they were really confused and...

Just for clarification, if you want to do ROTP at RMC, you will be starting again as a first year, regardless of how many years of university you already have. You may get lots of transfer credits that you can apply to your degree (depending on your program and what you've already done), which...

Yes, the whole minority question was kind of offensive, if you make it to RMC you'll see there's a lot of diversity here, which reflects the CF overall. And back on topic, here's a link for anyone wanting to know the base grades, etc that RMC will look at...

Just do your best and apply to RMC, or has been suggested, apply to do ROTP at Concordia if you're already there. And I'm not sure about the deadlines you were told for RMC application - I was told in February that I had been accepted for the fall term (I had applied in November), so I'm...

Unfortunately, I can't give you any details on your specific situation, but I am a current RMC student, graduating in May, and I've been accepted to do my masters. I'm debating between RMC (but in Ottawa) and Carleton, as they have similar programs (Carleton's would be an MA in International...

Yeah man, you should see the sorry sad faces of the USMA cadets on the day they have to go back down south, most of them definitely want to transfer up here, partially because they are of legal drinking age here! Awesome people, but I'm glad I don't go to a jail to be educated!  ;)

That still happens too, one mate failed one course, had to drop down to arts from engineering, and pay to redo first year. Not so bad if you were at civi u, but at RMC you are treated as a first year all over again (no privileges, getting shafted with crap jobs, etc). Oh such a joy, but worth it...

If you're at RMC, it depends which program you're in, and which course you fail. Depending on your course grade and final exam mark, you may be able to write a supplemental exam to at least scrape by the passing mark. Very often once you fail a course (especially if you're in engineering), there...

Hi Cowboy, you could consider going ROTP and just doing the best you can. I'm at RMC now, and was told when I enrolled in 2008 that I couldn't get Int O, as it was full or something. So, when we had trade interviews last May, Int O was my second choice, as I thought it was still not available. I...

You will have to apply at the same time everyone else does, regardless of your previous university education. RMC ROTP starts only once a year. You come to RMC in August, do recruit camp, which is like a mini boot-camp, then you do FYOP (First Year Orientation Program) while you start your...

Yeah, I know one guy who got kicked out last year two weeks before he graduated, as he hadn't passed enough courses to graduate. He was apparently given the choice to cough up around $50,000 to pay for the education, or go NCM for five years. He went NCM. And he doesn't get the degree.
