Title: How many people get into JMSS?
Post by: chelonianlover on August 20, 2014, 07:50:22 pm
Hey Everyone!

I recently had an interview with JMSS for year 10 entry in 2015.. does anyone know anything about:

- how many people get into the interview stage?
- how many get into JMSS itself?
- how many people actually tried out?

I hope you all have a great day!! :)

Cheers

Hello there Chelonianlover,
I tried out for JMSS as well and had my interview not so long ago.
From my understanding, I can guarantee you that at least 200 people get into the school at year 10 level.
From personal observations, I have come to a conclusion that there were around 750-800 people that tried out this year.
Now I'm not so sure how many people got an interview thus far as they are still in the process of sending out the interviews which will be finalised on the 12th of September.
Good luck for your application!

These are estimates, hopefully they aren't totally off:

Amount that tried out: 850
Amount that received an interview: 400 (Guessing this one)
Amount that will receive an offer: 200

Best of luck :)

Thanks Throne! Good luck to you too!! Yeah... I doubt I'll be getting in considering how I decided to go for the test only a week in advance :p The people I met there had studied 5 months or so in advance :p -_-

Only 750-800 people tried out for the thing, but I think your estimate on the amount that received an interview sounds right.

What number were you?

Yeah, I saw the bit where they say that they select up to 200 kids, depending on how many places they have left, but I never saw any bit on where they say they select 400 ppl :/ Thanks anyway!! :)

I was just curious where this info came from :/ :)

I'm pretty sure it says on the JMSS website, somewhere under student application that 200 people will get into the school. As for the number of people getting an interview, that could be anywhere from 200-800 people, so everyone's just guessing 400 or so.

Thanks man!! One with a good source, too ;)

to add to that, fun fact: in the info night we were told that the 200 came from 97 different schools. We are going to smash VCE!! :)
