JMP JMP: General Entry Discussion

[Ri97]

Can confirm I’ve heard from two sources (though don’t know first hand) that more UNE students going into first year have done at least one year of Uni than there are school leavers.

Can confirm that this is NOT the case. There are almost equal numbers, if not more school leavers than non standard/mature students.

Ooh, interesting. Admittedly, the two people I know are not in first year, so potentially there’s been a shift at UNE? Or it fluctuates year to year?

With a UMAT section 1 of 60 and >50 in the other two sections, can I rest assured of there being an interview offer? Stressing out rn, the wait is killing me

Currently in first year at UNE about 15/62 people are highschool leavers, the rest are non standard. The average age of our cohort is 20 - 21

This is much more in line with what I’d heard, so I was surprised when Ri97 suggested otherwise.

We can never assure you of anything, but if you’ve reported your results accurately and completed the applications appropriately, then I can’t see any reason why you won’t.

We have people every year who realise, after closing dates, that they’ve not done the applications correctly despite having adequate results, so it definitely trips people up from time to time.

Ah thank you! We just had to do the JMP direct application and the UAC application, right? Not applying as a rural so don't have to complete those extra forms

Yep! That’s all that I did so I hope I didn’t screw up >.<

Just counted and 23/62 are high school leavers. Missed about 8 people there... but they definitely feel like the majority.

Does anyone know what the date was when interview offers were released in the past? And do they all come out at once?

Please see this post > Interview Invites and Dates 2018-19 , they seemed to all come out on the same day or at most over 2 days.

Does every JMP app have 'Eligible - subject to being competitive' on their UAC application?

I have that for WSU (my 1st preference) but not for JMP

Do not get too worried about UAC codes because they are notoriously incorrect. Even UAC acknowledged this last year, I believe (or it could have been JMP admissions, I can’t quite remember). But for example, last year I had a code that indicated I was ineligible for JMP but went on to get an offer.

Hmm so odd. Are you a non-standard or school leaver?

 

[DrDrLMG!]

As I mentioned above, it’s not actually odd at all (confusing, yes, annoying, probably, but not odd). And possibly representative of continued issues with the use of UAC coding.

Sorry LMG! I replied the same moment as you did, so didn't see your message it makes you wonder why they use the codes at all!

Non-standard, but not to worry about it it seems! I assumed they had just done something about first preference, and nothing else for the other preferences

That might actually make sense, yeah! JMP is my first pref.

Although the codes can be wacky as LMG mentioned do take some action if it is unusual. Last year a person was first shown as ineligible for UQ, on checking with QTAC they were advised the IB English subject they did may not be sufficient for the prereq and should take the IELTS to be 100% certain. They did that and got a UQ provisional offer.

Ohh thank you! Appreciate it

Oh yes, my reply, and the information about last year’s confusion and indiscriminate use of codes, pertained to UAC only!

My comment was more intended to be a “don’t panic”, rather than a “don’t double check if something seems weird”, so thanks for the extra comment, A1.
