JPM WSU/CSU JPM: Interview Invite Discussion

[JL538]

Adding to LMG! 's reply they have been around 20ish January. Thing to watch out is UNSW WSU JMP Monash were all within 2-3 days of each other. In my case I had UNSW on Friday, Monash next Tues which gave me the weekend to relocate to Melb. But then I would need to fly back to Sydney for WSU Wed & JMP Thursday (too rushed so I skipped these two). Maybe this year by ZOOM you won't have such problems.

Yeah feels bad for the interstate Monash applicants. Right now, JMP, JPM (if its confirmed to be around 20ish), Curtin and UWA med and dent are all from around 20 to 22 Jan with the possibility of UWA interviews being face-to-face.

sooo .... we getting those rejection letters or not?

 

[Micky1234]

Interstate non-rural interview invites have been sent out!

 

[TEchi]

Does anybody know if all the interview invites for interstate applicants have been sent out? Has anybody received rejection emails?

I haven't got an invite either (non-rural interstate) even though I think I have a decent UCAT - maybe wait till the end of tomorrow and see - also, Idk if they send rejection emails?

 

[whys]

I got a rejection email

 

[JL538]

I got a rejection email

Yo me too - 96th percentile wasn't enough huh - you interstate non-rural?

 

[whys]

Yo me too - 96th percentile wasn't enough huh - you interstate non-rural?

Yeah, and 97th probably because my VR score wasn't that good

 

[JL538]

Yeah, and 97th probably because my VR score wasn't that good

Jesus christ - 97th is not enough - is it usually this hard compared to previous years?

 

[Destinygirl8]

Yeah, and 97th probably because my VR score wasn't that good

I've got the rejection email too

 

[whys]

Jesus christ - 97th is not enough - is it usually this hard compared to previous years?

It's probably because of whatever formula they use, since they don't use percentiles or overall score. Idk I'm kinda bummed out, wasn't expecting a straight-up rejection from WSU

What was your VR score if you don't mind me asking - also yeah jesus I kinda had this one locked in because I got offer for JMP so I thought they were similar in standards

I've got the rejection email too

What was your percentile? I'm trying to investigate what the cutoff was.

 

[whys]

What was your VR score if you don't mind me asking - also yeah jesus I kinda had this one locked in because I got offer for JMP so I thought they were similar

My VR was 700. Nah, WSU has their own formula, I think JMP just has a certain cut-off based on the scores of applicants.

Have JPM interview invites already been released for in-state students? It might be worth taking a look at those interview invites to see the kind of score necessary for an invite (assuming in-state and interstate applicants are treated the same).

In this thread we had a guy who had 99th percentile non-rural interstate get in - so I'm guessing 98th and above (with a proportional VR score for that percentile) or maybe 97th with an amazing VR - rest are rural applicants so can't really compare

I had a similar score to this but I received an interview. I also don't qualify for any bonuses. What was your score according to the formula if you don't mind me asking? I'm just wondering if maybe your other sections brought you down or if the formula that was derived on this forum is potentially incorrect.

I think WSU uses a formula to calculate your weighted UCAT score, you could probs drop to 90th percentile provided you have a 850+ VR score.

Yes, we saw this last year with someone who had 86th%ile but huge VR score. The overall %ile isn’t enough to gauge an individual’s competitiveness for JPM.
