Hello,
My name is Michael, I am 17, and am interesting in becoming an Infantry Officer. That said, I am not sure if my résumé is competitive enough to earn me a place in the army. I have a 76% average in my grade 11 year (79 discounting my 2 weakest courses if that matters here), a gifted certificate (which means the province I live in recognizes I have a "Unusually advanced degree of general intellectual ability"), my Bronze Cross, National Life Saving (which is a lifeguard course), Standard First Aid, and have been on multiple Leadership training excursions, including a 22 day arctic white water canoeing trip. In addition I am chewin' on 2 Advanced Placement courses in my grade 12 year, and will be taking grade 12 chemistry, physics, biology, and calculus.
That said, that's all I have to apply with. For those of you who know the ins and outs of the recruiting process, do I have a shot? To those of you facepalming at the idea of me applying, is there anything I can do to increase my chances of acceptance? Please let me know.
Thank you very much for your time.
