Hi, I'm not entirely sure I'll go even if I get in yet. The school is just more convenient for me to get to in terms of transport and also 2 of my sisters previously went there so that's the main reason I did the test. I'm currently leaning more towards staying at Nossal since I'm not the biggest fan of Science in general and JMSS doesn't offer legal studies which is a subject I really want to do. Actually quite a lot of Nossal kids sit the JMSS test but most of them don't intend on going or go since it's closer to where they live.

      Ommahp Lol I actually know another current Y9 Nossal kid who's brother went to JMSS and hated it, I think the teaching style is a bit weird there and since everyone is a bit pressured into following the science route, it's not always the best option. I also know ex-teachers from there who didn't like it too, obviously do what you want though 🙂

          Yeah I feel like since I'm happy with where I am at Nossal and have got my VCE subjects already figured out then its probably better to stay, and I feel like more people have had better experiences at Nossal than at JMSS.

            Heyyy,
            Has anyone got a offer or interview call from JMSS yet?

              John Monash Science School caters to students who enjoy science whether that be in technology, physics or any other field. If you aren't content about going into science then it probably isn't going to be the right place for you. I've heard of people saying they didn't like the school because it's heavily science based (which is very dumb because it literally is a school focused on educating students about science fields). The teachers there as well assume the students have a passion for the sciences so for people who don't want to, it isn't a suitable school. All I'm trying to say is that even though it is a selective school, the students that will benefit most from going there and actually enjoying the learning environment is students that actually enjoy science.

              I mean there are many students that sit the entrance exam just for the sake that it is a selective school but in the long run, if you don't plan on actually pursuing it, it will be worthless.

                  I heard that interviews are still being held for people who were sick or something on the original date. JMSS said that the results will come out before September 15th but they usually come out earlier so maybe in 1-2 weeks.

                    Results came out like half an hour ago. I was able to get an offer, did anyone else get one?
