Hi Sean,
I have just been onto the system and had a play with my own height and weight and adjusted them accordingly until it came across as a Fail and a BMI of 32.5 still constitutes as a 'Borderline Pass'. With a Borderline Pass you may still be sent up to an Assessment Centre and get a pass should you pass all of the fitness events. If you send me your height and weight I can give you a definitive status of your BMI and how it will present on our system.
My advice would be to submit an application and begin to work on your fitness if you're not already doing so.
Warm Regards,
