Wow congrats
BTW can you please tell what was your first choice and did you get any communication from Tohoku before this or from your first choice?
Wow congratsI've never been so glad of being rejected from my first choiceI'm going to Tohoku University guys!
I guess here in Mexico we all have the final result, yay!
Hey
congrats to everybody who's got the confirmation and good luck for those who are waiting
I just wanted to ask if there is anybody who has been placed in tokyo institute of technology and eventually received information regarding dorms...etc.
Ritsumeikan University.Wow congrats
BTW can you please tell what was your first choice and did you get any communication from Tohoku before this or from your first choice?
Nope, we have not received any email from Titech regarding the accommodation, only an e-mail to confirm about our professors and graduate school.
In fact I had to contact my sensei to get details of my dorm
Out of everyone who has already received their final confirmation, are all of you going in April? I've heard that students departing for October usually get confirmation later than those going in April......
And did you receive the confirmation by the embassy ?
I have been informed recently by the embassy that I've been placed in titech but I received nothing from the university.
(The email concerning the confirmation of professor and department was around mid November).
Wow congrats

I've heard that students departing for October usually get confirmation later than those going in April...wondering if this is true. I don't see a pattern to how people are getting the results -- it would make more sense if universities or countries were announced in a certain order, but it doesn't seem that is the case. Just curious...

cool what are you studying ?Hello. I am also going to Kyushu University, to Ito Campus. ☺
My theory is that it is more or less by university type. So far I'm noticing mostly national university acceptances with a few public ones.... I think they're working through those who had national and public as first choices, then national and public as second or third choices...then they'll be moving on to those who have private as choices; I don't think I've seen anyone share that their embassy confirmed a private university placement yet.... just my theory though, no idea if it's valid!
Thanks so much, it feels great to stop worrying. I hope everyone gets their confirmation very soon.
I am surprised you were contacted about student housing already. Their documents told me the email would come in January. I will definitely try to live at the Komaba Int'l House, cannot pass the chance on such cheap rent in such a location! So they emailed you about housing but the school itself didn't send you the certificate of admission?
Actually there is one thing I am worried about. The certificate of admission mentions that I am admitted until Agust 2015. Worse, they sent with the package a document about the changes in semesters and terms of research. Yet it never clearly mentions that it goes from 2 years to 5 months, nor whether this is meant for MEXT applications. In any case, I contacted the int'l student office section and I have yet to receive an answer. I am guessing that they offer admission for that period and then you can extent it upward to two years...I hope so because in 5 months, I could barely finish the 6 month language classes. Anyone has any idea?
Hi, don't worry my admission documents said the same thing. I'm sure we're accepted for the full two years, it's written on all our documents and the MEXT minimum is 18 months. I've been told to wait til March to hear my room number for Komaba International Lodge Main which I presume means I've got a place in the lodge already.
Hi so I got all my admission documents from my first choice, University of Tokyo and they're asking me to send a photo for my student ID and told me they will let me know my room number for my accommodation in March, so this is all official right? it's such a long process I don't quite understand it!
Yeah I'm emailed the embassy and they said just full in the documents and all the correspondence will be between me and the university for now. Are you UK?We're in the same situation; I have received the same documents and confirmed with the Komaba Int'l Lodge. I'd be very surprised - though some people seem to suggest that - that MEXT would have 2-3 universities contact us about residences and send acceptance documents and then decide at a later date where to place us. That'd make the entire process very hectic for the universities. Plus, the email from Todai was titled: We have mailed a Certificate of Admission to you.
As for the embassy, though, I haven't got anything from there at all, which does not worry me much.
