The USMC OCS model is the most successful that I can think of for this very reason.
Just to see if we are on the same page here.

'Selection' takes place before the course begins (with the successful candidates being allowed to start the course) and 'development' takes place during the course itself (taking this raw material and moulding it into something vaguely resembling what is expected of a young officer).

How may I ask is the USMC model more successful in this regard?
