MEXT Scholarship 2012

waitingiskillingme, gcarmelino Thanks for your replies!

Gladly, I've got a job and actually it's my job that inspired me to do the research, but I'm kind of tired of it and wanted a change in my life - and studying in Japan is definitely a huge change I desperately need Maybe it will be better for me to try looking some work in Japan directly, apply to Japanese companies and so on, but it's nearly impossible in my country. Besides, I don't have a clue what to do to get a work in Japan, but it's definitely worth a shot, I think.

As to the number of candidates, I believe that last year there were 4 people that went to Japan after all, but I was so frustrated when I heard the news about my status that I forgot to ask the embassy person about this issue =\. I plan to call them on Monday to know more details.
 
I was reading some posts on the Facebook group, and read that someone said he was an alternate "number 8" world wide! So I think that you could also get some kind of similar information from your embassy? Because it is not impossible for people to cancel their scholarship slot, and it would be good to know where you stand, right?

Good luck to all of us! Hope results in Asian countries come soon! Hoping to hear good news this week, seriously!
 
Hi guys !

I got an email from the embassy and apparently all the Spanish candidates have been accepted by the MEXT. I'm so happy >_<.

Although I'm really happy I'm concerned since apparently some people already have been contacted by the University and I haven't heard from any of them :S...

They informed us in the email that we should know which university we are placed in and if we are enrolled in a language program or not around February.

I hope everybody gets good news soon!

Shigasumi ,

I'm sorry to hear that you are an alternate now... But don't give up, you can always try again. If this finally doesn't turn out fine for me I will try again


Never give up !
 
Congratz for the acceptance Akhesa ! It is very encouraging to hear that every candidate from Spain passed the screening.

I have a completely opposite situation from yours. The university has contacted me but there is still no news from embassy yet :?
 
I called up my embassy today and the lady told me that the results would come out in January! I guess she just didn't want to answer my questions LOL.

Congratulations Akhesa! How many lucky applicants were you from Spain?

I think I can calmly wait until Friday this week then go crazy from next week )
 
Hi mitch... The information that you got from your embassy is weird... I believe that usually most candidates get a pre-confirmation at mid-December ... At least I think it's been like that last years :S

We were 7 candidates this year. I'm assuming that we all got positive results since the mail was addressed to us as a group.


Try to have some patience... I was ready to wait till at least one or two weeks from now... I was surprised that I got the email today.
Anyway it shouldn't take long now for anyone !!

This scholarship seems to be all about waiting... I was waiting for this confirmation... And now I'm waiting to hear something from one of the universities I picked... It's like enrolling into a master's program on patience lol.
 
Does anybody knows if Tsukuba Daigaku is sending mails?????
Yes this scholarship is a total mistery for everyone here, in Peru we are 6 candidates and 1 substitue and have not recieved news neither from our embassy nor from our universities. Im feeling jealous of you guys.
 
No idea gcarmelino... I applied for Waseda and Osaka university and I haven't heard from any of them. But I don't know about Tsukuba, sorry :S.
 
just want to share, i finally got the scholarship
i'm from Indonesia and applying for College of Technology
 
Wow, Indonesia has results already! Congratulations!

4 days earlier than last year LOL

I wonder if the different categories are notified all in one go, or separately.
 
I just received call from Japanese Embassy in Indonesia. Passed the second screening for research student program
At first I called the embassy in the morning and the staff in charge said they didn't know the result yet. Then 1 hour later, different embassy staff confirmed my acceptance by calling me.
 
Congrats FryLai! Today seems to be a lucky day for so many people. No news yet in Malaysia. It's so nervewrecking that I haven't receive news from both universities AND embassy as well
 
I have not received any information from the university or the embassy. One of my friend has got a email from her preferred univ regarding confirmation. It feels weird now. Hope I get it soon. Has someone got confirmation from Hiroshima Univ.
 
Congratulations FryLai! Malaysia will surely get the results later! I really hope we all get the results soon, I need to plan my life already ^^ I see that some embassy staff are quite uninformed while others are. Keeping my fingers crossed!!!!
 
Dear all, thank you very much! IMO, all South East Asia countries should receive the results this week. Hope all of you received the good news shortly!
 
Hey everyone, the embassy in Malaysia has also emailed the respective candidates on 'tentative selection' already

I'm so happy ^_^YY!!! I'd been really nervous since last week and checking my email 50 times per day...-_-"
Now I can finally have a good sleep! This is my best X'mas gift!
I hope all of you here will receive good news soon!

anyone here who applied to Todai? I've asked my gradschool yesterday, their answer was:

"MEXT is now conducting the secondary screening, then the final notification will be made through the Embassy of Philippines between end January and February."

This makes me more nervous each day..
 
all southeast asian countries except ussss!! ( Maria, i'll contact you! i'm trying to get in Todai as well LOL.
 
Hi everyone! Got an email from my professor saying that "MEXT formally accepts my application as a scholarship student" last Nov. 26.

@mitch2526 and maria1111, my friend who went to Tohoku Daigaku said he received the final result from Manila embassy Dec 16 last year. Let's keep our fingers (and toes) crossed until next week then!!! (^~^)
 
OMG OMG OMG I GOT IT!!!! just got email today!!!

(The news if from the embassy!! just to clarify! )

I called the embassy today; but, the concerned person has no information yet.
 
Hi! Results are out in the Philippines. Soon enough, we'll all know.

(Anyway, the embassy told us that we passed the second screening and currently, MEXT is asking the universities to which we will be placed. Hopefully, since we all got LoA's, we are at least 80% on the safe side.)
I hope everybody receives good news!

@mitch2526: i hope to see you next year at the orientation.
 
Hi...all. Congratulation to those who have got the confirmation. I din recieve any email yet here in Bangladesh.

@Mitch and @Maria i recieved my LOA from todai. which course in todai you applied for. I applied in engineering faculty.
