You are correct,calypso347 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:31 pmthought about the same thing today too...just put it in cause if you make it this time...obviously you'll just withdraw from that new app. Cut off is the 23rd which is also the same day all the finalized background reports are due lolll Right when we got the email for fingerprinting it was 500 names or so....but also take into consideration the ppl that passed their CRB in the summer/fall 2020 that got deferred to start 162 rather 161. How many slots are taken by them?? lolJRMVP wrote: ↑Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:00 pm
Quick thought.
-Has anyone thought of applying for this current cycle at the moment (2021-Application). Even though we are in the BIQ phase for 2020..
I thought about, and why not...
As confidence we may be, if 500 of us are great at BIQ and CRB, they can really only choose about 200 for academy.
-On top of that, we aren't even sure when the next application is takin place.
I just checked the e-mail for the fingerprinting, where it shows 548-total apps, with 40 being veterans.
Good info here, I wasn't aware that their "due-date" for BIQ was the 23rd. Many from this 2020-cycle were also deferred to 163. I'm wondering if its that many aren't even making it to the BIQ past the Fingerprints. Or are many dropping out (hired elsewhere, etc), so many things goin gone that kind of loses us.
The only negative I could see is, if we apply now (we as in the ones in the BIQ phase with an investigator), apply go through the PQT and Written, while waiting for CRB and then receive another BIQ. Would it throw them off, and hurt us in the near future because now we have 2 of everything in the same process. I don't know, I'm just thinking of the negative outcome in this. Positively, we don't lose a chance again so we have a chance for 162, 163 an possibly 164 if they go that route and continue to deferred based on what they can do..
Either way, I would like to find out. So If no one here has any input/knowledge on this, I will go forth and ask a recruiter.
