MEXT Scholarship 2012

@sool: Is this your first time taking the test too? Me too..I didn't put high hope for this..:? I guess it depends on luck after this...I'm 55, at the 3rd row...169 is quite far from my seat. I didn't know any candidates there. but, it's nice to meet someone here..👍

@marichan: yes, my first time sitting for the test. 55? hmm....i thought there are only 5 research applicants, it seems not now. When I received the email notification for the test, there are only 5 recipients, and when I entered the auditorium and checked out for my seat, I saw that there are 5 numbers, 166 to 170 were greyed out, wonder what's that mean...

@marichan: it's nice to meet you too! it's nice that we can share/update each other here! ;)

Really?☝ ..I didn't notice about that. It must be something good then. 👍 ...I think my email notification didn't mention any number of applied applicants. How to get email notification like that?
 
when you receive your email, don't you see all the recipient in the "to" address list? I do. My email notification was not only sent to me alone, it's a bulk email. How many recipient in your email ?

Anyone knows about the grayed out for some candidates mean in the seat list in the auditorium?

yours is also a bulk email, but the recipient address list is hidden. ;-). I can forward you my email if you like to see, send me your email address in private message, will send you later tonight, going out now.
 
hi Akira, sorry for late reply, just read ur message here. You must have attended the written examinations today, ;-) are you applying for post grad or under grad?

hi sool, postgrad.
how about you?
I am bit worry after taken the exam.
 
hi akira, same here, postgrad.
are you in 166-170? any idea what does that 'grayed out' mean?

I did not do well for the exam too, did not have enough time to review, just simply picked the answers, especially for section "Choose the incorrect part".

no, i was not in the grayed area... i noticed that applicants in grayed area didn't sit for the japanese test (mostly, if my memory serves me right). I think the grayed area maybe indicated no japanese language background (guess)
Headaches for III, I don't really have good english. I am quite worry about the result since we didn't know the passing mark. Put in this way, there is 2 possibles scenario,
I) if the interview quota is limited, for instance 50, then they will choose the best 50 among us, which means they don't have any passing mark. The best will be choose. I am surely will not be selected.
II) if they have a passing mark, for instance 80/100, which means anyone who scored higher than 80 will be selected for interview, it could be 100 or 150 applicants, no limit. Then perhaps I will have chance to go for interview.
I hope the selection can be second scenario.
 
hi Akira,

One of the 5 applicants in gray area sat for japanese language test. And notification email sent out to these 5 applicants can see each other's email addresses, it's not hide out.


are you saying that you are estimating your score to be 80-100? that's very good, I think I will score about 60%. ;) 80% is good enough to be selected for both scenarios. you dont have to worry. ;)
 
@sool: yes, I'm also applying for postgraduate in pharmacological field. How about you? In what area do you choose for your postgraduate study? I didn't sit for japanese language test as I didn't have any basic in japanese:sorry: .
@ming2399: to me, the test is quite tough...I'm also expecting the format would be like 2010 paper. but, it wouldn't:(
I did not know what advice should be given as I'm taking the exam for the first time. I just think we must have strong command in English. My English command is just an average 😌
@noys88: same as me. Do you apply for postgraduate too?

yup.hoping to continue my master in horticulture or agriculture related field.
 
did you guys submit your applications to JAGAM or the embassy of japan?
 
I have figured out what's that grayed out means, the 5 applicants are from Jagam.
 
@thuwaljogja: i'm really grateful to you dear..
i just wanted to tell you that i got the acceptance of one professor in osaka university, and he said that he would accept me if i pass the examinations ((i think he meant the embassy examinations..right?))
but i still have a problem is that i dont know whether i should put single or married as i'm engaged and will get married next year (i guess)...

well thank you again... see you later :-)

hi sool, i hope i can get 80 and above but i don't expect myself to get 80-100... just giving the rough idea... honestly, if i can get such marks, i won't be so worry right now... i am thinking for alternative to pursue my master now...
 
hi Akira, same here, I am waiting for a uni to offer me a place to do my research.

waiting? you've applied before it? I tried to contact supervisor before but what can they offer to me just "a place to study", no financial support...
 
you can get some financial support if you apply to local u. I havnt applied to any local u yet, that would be my last resort. If you do not mind to go to united states, most of their universities offer fellowships to research students.
 
However, I am still hoping to get the Mext scholarship, it would be great to be able to experience a study life in Japan.
 
same here, i would prefer to go japan for my postgrad study instead of doing that in local. Limitation in my country. I have IELTS but US needs GRE besides IELTS/TOEFL, i am thinking of it...
Study in Japan always is my first choice.
 
Any advice in how I go about filling in the present field of study, research theme and study program section ?
