Reapply next year if that's what you really want T-Bone. But it is very competitive, especially at RMC. Some of my engineering friends came into first year with extremely high academic marks from high school, cadet experience, extremely fit, etc etc. But at the end of first year, due to all the demands on you, a few ended up failing one course, which means they are not going to be in the engineering department, which meant they had to change trades. And, the way things work now at RMC, you don't get assigned your trade until the end of your first year. So if you screw up anything at all during your first year, you might not get pilot anyway, as the trade is so competitive. One of my mates is doing his masters degree here next year, just so he is doing something more productive with his time while he waits for his pilot training, as there is such a backlog. Some people I know made it all the way to fourth year, only to be told 2 weeks before graduation that their academics weren't good enough, and they were being released from the forces. Goodbye career. Others have personal or physical issues that come up that screw up their trade training or selection, even though they are otherwise excellent candidates. So in other words, be flexible. Decide what you want more, to be in the CF, or to be a pilot? If it's the CF, choose a few other trades that you might be interested in. You can always change your selection later. If you only want to go pilot, become a civi pilot. Good luck.
