I'm torn between JMSS and EBSS, even though I haven't been accepted to JMSS nor have I taken the test. I'm in year 10 at the moment and the JMSS Entrance exam is this Saturday (27 of May). Both JMSS and EBSS offer a lot in terms of maths and science. If I do get an interview, and hopefully get accepted to JMSS, the results are released early Term 3. According to the Enrolment Policy of JMSS, "Confirmations of acceptance need to be made within 7 days of receipt of the letter of offer." The EBSS entrance exam is around second week of Term 2 (29th of July) and results will probably be released weeks after.
Hypothetically speaking, if I am lucky enough to get accepted into JMSS, I only have seven days to respond. What if I decline the offer and I don't get accepted to EBSS? I would be such a fool to decline JMSS.
(Worst case scenario, I end up getting declined by both JMSS and EBSS.)
Not sure if I'm wrong or missing a point, but any clarification or knowledge about this situation would be appreciated. :)

My advice may not mean much, but oh well:
If you DO get accepted into JMSS, you should probably accept it. Better safe than sorry, since you know at least know that it's a definite acceptance.
Is there one school that you hope to get accepted into more than the other? By the sounds of it, you seem more interested EBSS.
Both schools specialise in science, and as long as you feel happy in a community that embraces that, you should be fine.
As hard as it may sound, try to stay positive. Have faith in yourself and just try your best on both exams.
Things will hopefully work out.
Good luck.
