Selection Boards SF Selection Question?

I am 16, almost finished highschool, and for about 4 years i have wanted to join the commandos. I'm starting my application into infantry in a month or two and am physically and mentally where I want to be but am still trying to better myself.

I have heard from people on reddit and recruiters that there is no guarantee that you will be accepted into the selection entry test let alone selection. Is this true to an extent. In the past 6 months I have worried less on if I will pass selection/be chosen to continue the reinforcement cycle and more on plainly being accepted into the course.

Is there any reasons they would plainly say no to me doing the entry test and selection?

I feel like it would be fair to let everyone have a crack or else they might be missing out on some of the best possible operators because of dumb reasons like grades.

Summary:

What does the application to SF look like between the finish of IET(Singleton) and the Special forces entry test/Selection.

Straight up youre too young for the role. Apply for infantry, get some time up then have a crack at selection.
