It's a bit comforting to know there are others in the same boat! Hopefully we'll hear something soon.
still waiting ! ahhhhh ! :arghh:
still waiting :arghh::arghh::arghh:
I'm sorry you still haven't heard...that's gotta be really hard on your nerves!I'm sorry to keep bugging you with my questions and worries guys but does anyone have tried to contact Waseda or Keio to ask if they are aware of your status or lack thereof at their uni regarding MEXT ?

Have you tried contacting your embassy? I think that's a better shot than contacting the uni directly. One person (bcaapower) was placed at Waseda, but he's the only one I know about...I haven't seen anyone placed at Keio yet. In previous years, some schools were not announced until mid-February, so it's not too late yet.
Good luck while waiting, keep your spirits up!

I also applied to Waseda but haven't heard any news from embassy or Uni. I've tried to contact my embassy, but they also don't know the progress in MEXT. If we see the list, most of those who has been notified was placed in National/Public University, same case in my country. So I think that placement in Private University will be notified later than National/Public University. Just hope MEXT can announce the result soon.
You're right, the vast majority have been national/public universities...my 1st choice was a private university but I don't think MEXT even contacted them, they just skipped straight to my 2nd choice which was a national university. Maybe for students with only private universities on the preference list, they will place you there. I hope you're lucky enough to get placed at Waseda! If not, hopefully you had a national/public university on your list tooI have contacted Waseda, and I was told they have no updates regarding the status of my application and that the Embassy would be contacting me regarding updates. Contacting the Embassy resulted in the same answer of no updates regarding the placement.
I agree with @opank90, all released placements seem to be Public/National, I think there was only one Private placement confirmation and that was done through a professor and not through the Embassy, if memory serves right?
Here's to some more waiting and hopefully good news in the end!
Yes that's what I thought as well, that is why my third choice is Tokyo Metropolitan University. I just wanted to make sure I'd go to Japan, but humm I've yet to hear from them too !You're right, the vast majority have been national/public universities...my 1st choice was a private university but I don't think MEXT even contacted them, they just skipped straight to my 2nd choice which was a national university.

Hey guys, I am that guy from the spreasheet who got accepted and placed at Waseda - professor contacted me first and that I verified it at my embassy.
Anyway, a bit offtopic question - guys, have you thought all this throught like what exactly you all gonna do after finishing your research/study in Japan?Do you have any exact ideas and promissed jobs, cariers?Been wondering...
Well said!To me, i am intended to finish both master and phd in japan. Then i will consider to do postdoc in the place i think ideally for career building. Most likely there will be few year of postdocs so i gonna sharpen my skills throughout my study in japan. If I not able to continue, i will finish my master and branch out to seek job in ideal place.
Anyway, this will be another long journey, which need full of determination and perseverance. Everyone of here also wish to have a brighter future to move with. So, be focused all time around and always alert to the change in market job surrounding you. We can't predict future but we can try accomodate reality to our future. Good luck

Ok just got the official word from my embassy (before now I'd only been contacting university of Tokyo) about my placement and pre-departure orientation, but no word on flight details. Do you know if everyone from the UK or same country are put on the same flight?
Also I'm at uni of Tokyo's graduate school of arts and sciences, school of interdisciplinary cultural studies, researching Japanese family law and gender issues.
