Just wanted to update my profile. After completing my interview and medical on the 30th my interviewer  discussed with me the possibilities of taking the officer route instead of NCM. It was suggested to me that I close my NCM application and try for ROTP come september, although no guarantees were made.  At this point, I am still working through my expectations of each route and what they may entail. If anyone has any personal experiences or advice, I would be glad to take them into consideration.

Cheers,
Murph

At the end of the day, it's your choice.

If you decide on switching over to the ROTP route, you will need your Gr 12 along with the mandatory minimum marks in the prerequisite classes (English and Math) and also an overall high school average of 75% just for "minimums".  If you have very very good high school grades along with extra curriculars, then it might be something worth considering.

If infantry is really what you want to do, you might want to just pick that trade. Otherwise, if you get an offer for your second or third trades and you refuse, your file will be put on hold for a year. Although trade choice number one is your preference, the RC will give you an offer depending on the needs of the military. Just a heads up, as I only found out about this last Tuesday 11 August.
