Hello Everybody
My embassy told me that in March they willl announce the departure date and give us the ticket. On the other hand, Is anyone already signed a pledge?. Just asking, beacuse I have to sign one and send it this week.
Happy week minna...
I just signed it last week.I signed the pledge in mid-January.
What pledge? I didn't have to sign anything. I just got an email to start arrangement for dormitories, and that was it. Can someone explain me what do you mean by this pledge?Thank you.I signed the pledge in mid-January.

Hi spcrome, I am from the Philippines too. Most of the people in this blog applied for 2015 MEXT scholarship through Embassy Recommendation, including myself. Does your application at TokyoTech accompany or is coupled with MEXT scholarship under University Recommendation? While I might suppose "tentatively admitted" similarly refers to "provisional acceptance," which means students (while being a research student in the university they applied to) still have to take entrance exam to be considered admitted, this process is in stark contrast to the process involved in the under University Recommendation category. Also, it is possible that your professor is just updating you on the application process where you are close to getting accepted (but not yet final), since the final results for October admission is usually announced in late August. Please correct me if I'm wrong.Hello. I'm from the Philippines and I applied for a research student scholarship at TokyoTech. The program commences on October. I didn't apply through the embassy. I directly submitted my application to the uni and just last week, my professor emailed me saying that my application is tentatively admitted and my papers would be process. While I am not quite sure what "tentatively admitted" as a status would mean, I am hopeful I'd be admitted.
I browsed through this thread and I think I haven't seen anyone who went through the same procedures as I did. So I've no means of comparison to gauge where I am at.

Hey Waseda guys - anyone got an accommodation list?Who is going to accommodate at Hanagakonei? I didnt receive more option to choose from
Hello anyone. It's great to hear everyone got the surprise blast from your country embassy. Congratulation!
Source from my university (Kyoto U only,hihi), all departure, accommodation and transfer information will be informed within late february and early March by the international student section of the university. =D
@melococ0 Well, i had sent my signed pledge 1 week ago. hehe.
Btw, is that anyone still waiting for the result?
I am still waiting :/
And also a little nervous since April is 2 month from now and I just got 1 Loa from a private university.
Congratulations to everyone who have been placed.
Hi bcaapower, Waseda guy here! I also received email from Waseda asking me if I want to apply for dorm or no. They only offering me Hanakoganei 1 & Hanakoganei 2.Hey Waseda guys - anyone got an accommodation list?Who is going to accommodate at Hanagakonei? I didnt receive more option to choose from

Still thinking whether to choose a dorm or apartment. anyone go for apartment?
So, you are going to live in the dorm at first? I was thinking the same thing, because finding an apartment in Japan is very tricky for foreigner.Hi Opank, I would go for the apartment, but I cant speak Japanese (not at all) and I will be commuting to Tokorozawa campus and Waseda campus, need to be somewhere in the middle. Moreover, cant manage to bring more than 1 500 € for the begining ( 132.000yen), need also to postpone that stupid 100.000 yen initial cost, wont make it till first scholarship payment
There is huge con for Hanakoganei for me - they make breakfast and dinner from Mon - Sat

and yes, the breakfast and dinner that made me thinking twice to go for Hanakoganei

Perhaps you may try open a whole new thread for 2016 batch =DCongratuation to anyone who are leaving soon to Japan for the adventure of lifetime! I'm not exactly new to this topic but I am new to this forum so please take it easy on me:nailbiting:. Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone will be applying MEXT Scholarship (Reasearch) for upcoming term 2016. I reside in the USA so my local embassey's deadline is in late May/early June. I am planning to study tourism/aviation
You know what, I might just do thatPerhaps you may try open a whole new thread for 2016 batch =D

Don't worry, it would be released soon. =)
Thank you! I will!Igr I had only one LoA too, but my university was public. Results from private universities are been announced late, as you can see through the last post here... So don't worry, and stay positive.
I hope we hear good news soon!I'm still pending as well, my nerves are frayed by now!.... I got 3 LOAs from private universities and this delay is making me very nervous.
What are you guys definitely bringing to Japan?
I hear Deodorant is a good idea!
