JPM WSU/CSU JPM: Questions and Discussion

Does anyone know how many rural applicants are interviewed for WSU?

It used to be 45 for 15 spots but that changed dramatically when it became JPM and there was a larger focus on rural entry for CSU. I’m not sure what the rural JPM interview ratio is like.
 
Hi, I am wondering if WSU takes in students who are already studying medicine at Bond university via the general undergrad pathway; not a transfer. Thanks!

i have a feeling they do not. Check their website, it has specified previously.
 
Hi I'm a rural applicant, if i put down my JPM preference for CSU, will my chances of an offer be higher than if I put it for WSU? I'm asking because WSU has 30 out of 37 places for rural while WSU only has 15 out of 100 (correct me if im wrong).

Also another quick question, are interview offers for JPM (rural applicants) determined only on UCAT scores such that all eligible rural applicants are regarded equally (RA4 applicants have no priority over RA2).

Interviews are only based on UCAT scores.

And no, I don’t think selecting CSU increases your competitiveness. There are 45 total rural places, so the top 45 rural applicants will be allocated based on their preferences. Once the WSU cohort is full (assuming it fills first, which is likely), the rest will be offered CSU to either accept or decline.
 
Thanks you DrDrLMG! for clearing that up.

I've got one more question, I'm planning an international schoolies trip with my friends from 10-20 November this year but I'm not sure if its a good idea. What were the interview dates for JPM last year as their website says this years MMI will take place in late November.

No idea what they are this year or were last year. Mine (way back in 2017 for 2018 entry) was Nov 21ish from memory.
 
Is there a higher chance for offer if select certain campus? (e.g. if campus A is preferred more than campus B for most students, would there be a higher chance for offer if select B?)

Nope. Offers are made in order and if campus A fills up, those who’ve preferenced campus A but are next in line for an offer are instead offered campus B.
 
i’ve had a gws address for four years- if i have a gws address on uac and i tick ‘yes’ for gws can i assume they will accept me as a gws applicant or will i find out later in the year whether they’ve discounted it because they’ve somehow found out about me not fulfilling the requirement to live there for 5+ years? thankssssssss

I don't know if WSU is still doing this. In the past they required you to submit a Statutory Declaration for GWS

Not implying you'd do it but for info a false Declaration risks being expelled and possible 2 years jail if convicted.
