I spoke with Sue from the School of Medicine (Tel: 4921 5583) last week and she said (a) invites will be out end of next week, and (b) interview times will be allocated to applicants. She said the email they send out will tell applicants what to do if there is a clash with an HSC exam.
Best of luck in the HSC to everyone here too!
I wonder if this means Friday afternoon (like usual lol) or whether there’s a chance of earlier in the week … I’m sick of obsessively checking emails
No need to obsessively check emails, just stay full-time on MSO you will know the minute they come out
I don’t feel like I will be getting an interview with my 3000/92nd percentile as it’s just under last years cut off of 93rd (and there’s been talk of percentiles jumping again this yearNo need to obsessively check emails, just stay full-time on MSO you will know the minute they come out
) … But I’ll hold out hope until I know for sure as some funny things have gone on this admission cycle so I guess you never really know for sure!
I think this was asked before but will my preferencing on my UAC application affect my chances of getting an JMP invite? My UCAT score (3210; 98th percentile) should be suffice to get me an interview offer otherwise, but as I had placed it 3rd (because of UNSW and WSU being my 2 favoured universities), could that affect me in any way?
Preferencing should not affect invites but strangely some schools have now disregarded this. That said, I guarantee you 98%ile 3rd pref will get a JMP invite.
So what date/time is everyones interviews
In a normal year JMP interviews NSW/ACT/QLD late Nov with offers mid Jan, then interviews interstate late Jan with offers early Feb.
This year due to NSW ATAR delay they combine the two offer rounds into 26th Jan (thus interstate interviews mid instead of late Jan).

Hello. Hope you're well.
I received a JMP interview invite and I'm interstate. So, the email from JMP said that I would be doing my interview in January. However, they said that if we wished, we could change to the Nov/Dec period for an interview.
They said that if we do it in January, that is, after the first round of offers, we will not be disadvantaged in any way.
However, I'm a bit confused by this as wouldn't someone have a better chance doing it in Nov/Dec where there are possibly more places to be competing for, rather than in Jan, where there are less places offered? So, someone would have a better chance of getting in if they did it in Dec/Nov rather than January? Thus, wouldn't it disadvantage my chance of getting a place offer if i did it in Jan? Are you able to confirm if my thinking is correct?
So, I'm just thinking about whether I should move my interview to Nov/Dec for a better chance or do it in January(where perhaps I'd be more prepared)?
I'm super sorry if this was asked before but was just hoping for clarification on my questions!

Your post is incorrect on couple of points.
That's NOT the case since JMP apportions the number of place offers to number of interviewees in each round. They do their best to achieve a similar offer cutoff score between the two rounds.
The latest info from JMP Key Dates is this year they will interview interstates mid January and release offers to them + locals in the same round 26th January. So you'd be better off doing January for more prep time.

Ahh okay. That's relieving to hear as I wanted to do it in January.
but thank you for the info!
Also, I'm not sure if I'm understanding, but in the offer email, they explained that there are actually 2 offer rounds (not 1) the main offer round (UAC January offer round 1) and a later offer round for the interstate applicants that were interviewed. Sorry if I misunderstood what you said!
but thank you for the info!
