Yep haha, decisions decisions 
. Although I love science, I'm not really interested in going into research or the medical field, I would prefer a commerce/maths based course and job. What I love about JMSS is how fresh and friendly it seems, compared to the slightly daunting and competitive appearance of Melbourne High. Also it seems easier to fit in socially with JMSS rather than MHS, especially with starting school at the same time, alongside the less competitive environment.
Still not sure though... I'll see how the interview goes 
To be honest, I think MHS would suit you really well. They have a very strong Commerce dep and many Commerce links with the Old Boys Association which you can't really get in any other non-elite private school (for boys). You sound like someone who wants to be well-rounded, and MHS really encourages that, there's a club for everything (academics, charity, anime, sports, chess, break-dancing, environment, debating, cadets, sexual orientation, board games, and the list goes on) and facilities on the school grounds (hockey field, basketballs courts, oval, cricket nets, swimming pool, whatever) to cater for all that extra enrichment. I used to walk past JMSS every day and see about 100 people crammed onto their sole basketball court during lunchtime or recess, I really feel sorry for them, every time they went to this small patch of grass next to the road they had a teacher with them, seems awfully restrictive and lacking of facilities if you ask me :/
Also on a Commerce note, I know that from my year MANY students were offered cadet-ships and things into big firms like PwC, E&Y and KPMG (ie. Big Four firms). Just food for thought if you want to head down those roads
I agree, the school does seem daunting. It's got a very proud history of academic excellence that can seem a bit frightening, it's also got that elite private school grandeur-ness about it's main building (castle!!!) which can be a bit intimidating. However, given the location centrally in the city, the bromance of the cohort (not that there aren't events with Mac.Rob!), the abundance of on-ground facilities, the fact that there is a library that can accommodate the school's population, and the history of excellence; choosing MHS would be a no-brainer for me
Reason why you shouldn't come MHS(jkjkjk)
Toilets are crap, full of tissues on ceilings.
The corridors are cramped and the year 12s are bossy and wont let you through.
If you look out from the history room in the T building you see this guy imprinted on the art building, weird!
They make you sit on primary school chairs.....
If you don't play League of Legends, CSGO or Fiffa. The nerds will stalk you until you do.
Ever get a bottom lock, enjoying waiting 5 minutes for your turn.
The good things about MHS:
class parties and JAMESSSSSSSSSS Guthrie u legend
Boys will be boys
The "guy imprinted on the art building" is MHS alumni Lindsay Fox. He also used to park his helicopter on the oval. MHS is cool like that, we actually own an oval and we have some sweet alumni who have really made it places in the world.
Not sure about nerds stalking people, if you go outside to play a bit of cricket or soccer or whatever you avoid that? Never happened in my time at MHS. We had people play LoL and SC in the library, but they kept to themselves and that was fine by me.
Sucks to be you with a bottom locker! Evaded getting one for 4 years
