That was the word here iin Canada too and then they surprised us with one of the earliest reports I've ever heard of!Here in New Zealand we're supposed to be getting the notice in "late July", hopefully they're not planning on doing it on the very last day...
Just wondering, It is ok if we send our documents to more than 1 universities and get LOA from more than 1? Or do we have to stick to one?
Hey! Thanks for replying~There's a reason why the Placement Form has 3 spots AFAIK. It's for your main and backups - unless your chosen university has a "us and nobody else" rule. If not, you're supposed to get LOAs for as many of the three as possible and then MEXT will play Russian Roulette as of where to place you.... or decide according to their budget of the year, though I'm positive they just pull a number out of a box randomly for placement.
I'm more concerned with what happens when/if we don't get LOAs from ALL three. My first two choices are quite solid as far as the LOA is concerned IMHO (or at least I hope so), it's the last one I'm not quite sure of.
But really, I'm getting wayyyyy ahead of myself here. Until I get any embassy news regarding the screening, the above really doesn't matter much.

I haven't either actually - and every other Malaysian who posts in here it seems (as nobody has reported any news at all). I really do hope the Embassy folks decide to inform us whether or not we're successful. Being left hanging is just... extremely sad.
*anxiety level max... now munching on popcorn packaging*
It is true. Malaysians have not receive any news of the outcome of the interview. I asked the Embassy through email and they replied the outcome will be notified to all applicants through email and post by end of July. I just hope it is not 31 July but perhaps more earlier.
Yes , I think you can still apply for university recommendation, if you have a professor who is willing to recommend you! It starts in October (i think , not sure ! )well I had my exam yesterday and the interview today
not so sure about the interview, but I will hope for the best * I feel it was too short.. or maybe I was too nervous and waiting outside seem eternal *
can you still apply for university recommendation in any case? haha just looking at my options by any case ;;;;
Isn't it that you are not allowed to contact an university anymore after end of August? Meaning that you have to send your documents before that time? That's on the information sheet of The Netherlands, and you have to send the LoA you have received from the university to your embassy before end of September.Thanks for the follow up ajeng. I wanted to ask the Embassy folks, but I was unsure if it was prudent... it being the Eid holidays and all, so I decided to just wait it out.
So yeah... end of July. And we need LOAs by the end of August...
... I need more popcorn.

that's weird maybe the emails on the website are outdated? I would say contact the department office for the professor's emails in that caseAnyone got any kind of advice on how to contact the professors at the university? ive been trying to contact some of them with the email in the university website but ive got no response from any of them, its been 2 months or so now
Its the holiday season now in Japan i think. Festivals and all are going on! If u dont get a reply, mail once again, and then try calling them!! Best luck!Anyone got any kind of advice on how to contact the professors at the university? ive been trying to contact some of them with the email in the university website but ive got no response from any of them, its been 2 months or so now
How does one apply for a LoA from Waseda? It says here that they want all your documents, as well as a placement preference form.
I haven't provided my placement preference form to the embassy yet, and don't know if I will rank Waseda as my top choice when I do - however, when I submit to waseda for initial consideration, I think I should put their school and the potential adviser's name at the top... don't you?
Will this cause issue later when the Embassy gets my finalized form (and the letters of acceptance I was able to gather)?
Hi, Yes i sent emails to the departments and the professors, i was wondering if they were having vacations or something but the general department was working normally and actually they answered me the same day, probably they dont need anyone in their department and they just dont bother answering me? The general department told me to wait 2 weeks at most with every proffesor and that they are really really busy these days.. hopefully thats it.. btw the university is kyoto and the department is medicine.@Search , have you tried contacting the professors themselves?
Try to search the university website, there might be some guidelines regarding MEXT scholarship and how to get the LoA?
