JMP JMP: General Entry Discussion
- Thread starter ignorancebliss
- Start date
UPDATE: Both campuses covered. Shall report back
Sorry, do we have an update on this?
Nope, the person in question never got back to me. I’ll chase it up.
Yeah, I was talking to some of the other interviewers in between the interviews and the pqa test, and she tripped almost all of us up...

I'll fix this up on Friday afternoon once everyone has completed their interviews!

I don't understand what it means by 'she tripped almost all of us up...' Do you mean that it was challenging to understand the accent?
Yeah, sorry for the confusion. Her accent was difficult to understand.

No worries, same here.
I know that this question has been asked in previous postings, but I can’t find the thread.
Could someone tell me how the JMP selection works after the interviews Stage 2 is done.
Correct me…you need a certain UCAT score to obtain a look-in (Stage 2 Interviews) what happens after this? What will the selection committee be looking at next besides interview scores?
Also have JMP finished with their interviews? Just wondering.
It’s all on interview score. UCAT is used as a tiebreaker only, and ATAR is a hurdle.
Nope, not until late Jan.
ETA: and “interview” as mentioned above by Crow refers to an unknown combination of the PQA and MSA.

Thank you. ( I will save these answers so I can refer back to them in future.)
Do you know which groups are left to be interviewed? (I will save these answers so I can refer back to them in future too.)
Interstate applicants. Indigenous applicants were interviewed last week.

Could anyone help with this inquiry:
- Approx. how many rural candidates were interviewed for JMP?
-nWhat is the approx. rural make up of places given in the JMP?
Thank you, admin. I apologise if this is in the wrong section, please change if that's the case. Godspeed to those waiting for offers.

around 60/170 places are given to rural
Where have you been hiding to not have seen this
> JMP General Entry DiscussionWhen a school organises separate pools for rural & non-rural they usually keep the interview-to-place ratio the same for both. So in JMP case 30% of the 800-850 interviewees is around 240-260 rural.

More like 50
If we can use UNSW as example, from their Info evening video 150 rural interviewees (out of ~200 applicants) for 50 places, 450 non-rural (out of 2000+ applicants) for 140 places.
Note how they select 3 in 4 rural applicants for interviews but only 1 in 4 non-rural. Looks like the emphasis is on keeping the interview/place ratio the same.
Already resigned myself to the fact that I won’t get in after that tragic interview performance
