Yea, but will it be better for us to notify our professors that we have passed the First screening process? The package is expected to arrive on 6th of August. This year round number of recipients were almost the same as last year. ^_^

Yeah you should probably let them know because you don't wanna send the documents to your university unannounced right? Haha. I think you should contact the International Division of your university as well if I'm not mistaken. But yeah just let your professors know about it and see if there's procedure to follow.

I think we will get back the documents submitted last time during interview session, because in there was 3 sets full sets in total. Since it stated that we can send at most 3 LPA documents, then i sure they may prepare for us as well. Anyway, this is what i think of. =)
Anyway, if you have any update just post it here so we can share. =D

I am thinking of the same thing as well... Anyway, this will surely cause some problems to those who are going to send to numbers of universities, as we will still need to pass the stage where the universities will accept us into their universities or not. I have also received an email from the International Division from one of the universities which i have applied earlier and the person-in-charge responded to me that the chances of getting LOA will depend on the faculty members themselves.
If you have a good feedback and kept the updates reachable by them then it would be fine, that's what i guess.

Thank you.
Both will be taking place on the same week? That's nice and wish you the best. ^_^
Thank you. And yes both will be taking place next week, 28th and 31st of July
regarding the university preferences is it possible to change them as we send them to different universities referring to the attachment document for the application. I mean would that lead to a black list or an immediate scholarship termination? I didn't do my research carefully. I passed all the 3 rounds got my certificate of passing and letter of provisional acceptance
Hello! Nice to meet you all. I'm another embassy recommended candidate 
I'm a little concerned about the Letter of Acceptance. Here is my situation: I have contacted all of my prospective advisors; first one by post since the university asked for my documents and the others by email. For the first one according to their FAQ it would take a month or so to obtain a response from them...nothing I can do but wait. The second one (the professor itself) answered my email and after a little review of my research plan he said (and I quote) "I would be pleased to say that our lab will admit you if your application to MEXT is approved. All the best for your application." Good news I think...but he didn't sign the Letter of Provisional Acceptance
I asked for it and I been waiting for an answer 14 days...I don't know if I should insist.
For the third one is almost the same. The professor put some requirements to be my supervisor and in case I accepted he wanted me to let him know so he could start the procedure with his department. I told him it was ok but I didn't receive any response after that...and now it has been almost 20 days...
Is this normal? Should I insist? They have been very kind and I don't want to be rude :?

Hello rider. Welcome to the forum.
I suggest you send a follow-up email as most, if not all, professors in Japan are on summer break. You can kindly ask your professors if they have received your previous email and just gently remind them that they need to fill in the Letter of Provisional Acceptance so you can send it back to the embassy on time.
Hope this helps.

hi guys!
I'm so jealous of all you guys who will be studying in Tokyo!!
Last week I received an email saying I had passed the interview and exam stage. I am too excited for words.
A professor from the Nagoya University Graduate School of Law has already agreed to take me in and has been very involved in making sure I get all the documents on time. Tokyo would be amazing, but since the school specializes in Law and Politics and that's my research topic, as well as the fact that I'm only N4 but speaks fluent Korean and my potential advisor there does as well, it seems quite likely I'll be heading to Nagoya. Though to be honest, the distractions might be too many in Tokyo!
Of course now we have only two weeks to submit all documents (and somehow have them mailed to Japan, and get them back) but I hear its the same every year.
I write because I'm wondering if someone knows whether the provisional letter of acceptance can be submitted through email? I emailed my consulate but since it is the week end, still no answer from the nice lady there. My professor lives in another city far from Nagoya for the summer and she's worried she needs to stamp the letter with her stamp. So does any of you, or some of your friends, know if everything can be done through email, and, if only the department needs to stamp the document?
Thanks to whoever replies and good luck to everyone still waiting!!!

Hey Michel,
concerning your question about gettin the provisional letter of acceptance by email - this is optional. For instance, I had to send all the documents from the screening in 2 sets of photocopies to Waseda by air mail. My second choice is Juntendo ( also in Tokyo
) and they werent so picky, scanned documents and sent by emal was enough.So, I would recommend you to ask about this manner someone at international office in your uni.
My major gonna be Sport and Health Sciences ( graduated as a pharmacist) and due to this field Tokyo seemed mostly suitable...but as you said, much of distraction in this city.

congratz!
Congratulation to you!!! You answer reassured me.
My professor said that they'd prefer getting stuff by email actually, but it's more about the consulate that I'm unsure. Did your consulate said it was okay to send them the documents over email?
To be honest I haven't even emailed other profs in Tokyo...Only that one. I should probably do it asap but I think even if I get in there, there is something, the energies I dunno, that tells me that it is at Nagoya University that I have to go. So let's see what the future has in mind for me. But anyway, Nagoya might be a quiet city but it's still a decently sized one. And to be honest, I have a feeling I'll enjoy it more than Seoul where I have now been for over two years haha
Thanks for your time
