MEXT Scholarship (Research/Graduate students) 2018

A lot of people here applied for Todai, you guys are great. It was once my dream university when I was still in high school.

I am okay with both LINE and Whatsapp as I use them daily, please invite me once you guys have made the group chat.
 
Please allow me to join the Line group as well :)

(Though I will not join until I have 100% confirmation, otherwise it will be frustrating to leave the group haha!)
 
Hey all created a WhatsApp group. :emoji_fingers_crossed:
You are invited to join.
Contact me here with a private message and I will give you the link and details.

Congrats.
My date is also on April
For sure, I do not have friends in Japan, I believe we can still in contact, supporting each other as we already have been doing through the group forum. We must have a family picture.

I am really happy for you guys...I hope everyone get the good news, very soon.

Congratulations to all you got positive responses from their professors/universities.

As for me, I got no news yet from my side. I might e-mail my professor from my first choice (Todai).
I'm also set to arrive by April so i'm up for the meet up when we get to Japan. Cheers!

About the result, I am already sure that everyone will get the good news, but what I would like to know is how many of us are up for the meeting.

Let me see how many are up, to meet in Japan guys. We can still connected and share the same positive energy among us. supporting each other.

Congrats to those who got positive replies. I will also move to Japan next April if everything goes well. I have not received any information yet. I have been thinking about asking my professor like some of you, but maybe I will wait for final result from embassy.
 
Hi Minnasan, :emoji_grimacing: I'm new to jref. I'm glad we have a thread about MEXT 2018!
I'm waiting for my results too.
 
Ya, my prof sent me reading materials too. However can't wait for the news from embassy :emoji_grinning:

Sorry for the above post, I am new to the site and am not used to the layout/controls so I posted that accidentally.

I have been recommended by the Embassy in London, and am now in the process of applying for my LOAs. Is anyone else here applying from the UK?

I was wondering if it is 100% necessary to directly contact professors at our chosen universities when applying for LOAs. The three unis I chose all directed me to the international or admissions offices, and didn't mention contacting professors directly (Todai/Waseda/Keio). Should I have sent emails out to professors informing them that I intend to list them as desired supervisors?

Also, does anyone know the general timeline of MEXT (for Master's students). How long are we classed as 'research students' before we can enroll on Master's courses? And does the language training come before or during the 'research' term?

Sorry for all the questions. I am sure you all understand how confusing this process can be. Congratulations to everyone who has been accepted, and good luck with the rest of the process. I hope to see you all in Japan!

Hi Lennon

Just saw your message - how did the LOAs go? I was also recommended by the embassy in London - hopefully I'll be at Kyoto University from April!

All the best,
Tom

Hey good morning from me.
If everyone agree I was thinking to create a group in WhatsApp/Line which one will be most comfortable to all.
Please give your opinion.

Btw everyone who applied through embassy is going to Japan in April as far I know.

Well I was going to tell you that we could create a Whatsapp group for now, and then move to a LINE group in Japan, because LINE is major in Japan, once we are there that's the chat app that we are all going to use more (unless you are planning on not socializing xD)
 
Hey everyone, I was wondering if you guys could give me a bit of advice.

So I mentioned a few weeks ago that I got a unofficial notification from my prospective prof. that I got accepted at their university. Earlier this week, a different prof. emailed me essentially saying that I didn't get accepted at another university.

Is it normal to explain to the other prof. that I'm going to a different choice university than theirs? I don't want to offend this prof by saying I chose someone else's lab over theirs. Or is it even too early to say for sure?

I feel bad, after taking the time to talk with them about potential projects and such, only to end up going to a different place. I feel like I owe them for their support... Am I just over thinking things?

Sorry for the venting. I really should be excited right now, but I just can't shake off the feeling that I'm backstabbing the other prof. right now...

Thanks :emoji_sweat:

I think the profs. know that you can choice 3 universities but just end up with only one, and they can understand this situation. But you should wait until having the final result of your assigned university from embassy (around next January). Don't say anything now because currently nothing is 100% sure.

In my case I'm waiting for the official announcement in order to mail the other professor telling him the news, but since said professor approached you first maybe you could tell him that you still haven't gotten any official announcements from your Embassy, but that if that's really the case you are sad to hear that and that you are grateful to him (but phrase it better xD)
