Hi folks,
I got message from a prof from University of Tokyo that he is ready to be my sensei. Though there are more steps in getting a LoA... Anyone having any experience in getting a Letter of Acceptance from University of Tokyo? The academic unit is Graduate School of Information Science and Technology. I am planning to ask them to FAX it before mailing it to me as it will help me to submit by attachment form on time. I need to get a FAX no. in Japan for this... as I dont think they will FAX it to me in India.
Hi Ajay,
I am also applying to the University of Tokyo's School of Engineering, but in Urban Transport Planning.
When you applied, you had to send all your documents to the Office of International Students (OIS) right? When you applied, did you type of a list of professors you wanted to study under? How long did it take you get a response?
Thanks
thats great ekoy! glad to know that you will be getting one from kyushu as well...are u waiting for others too?
my field is clinical psychology..its actually really hard to find a supervisor with the same research area. I have to change my research proposal to suit one of the professors that i asked... and i still havent replied his email..cos i cant come up with a specific topic that is of his interest...what is your field?
so far i only got 1 LoA...but maybe i should start emailing other profs from other universities jus in case..
hi NeoXtremeX...i think generally it depends on the professors...i guess its just whether they actually really do check their emails...i sent a lot of emails (cant keep count) and i only got replies from a few..and most of them declined...dont give up...just try emailing more professors...eventually u will get a positive reply...another way is to email the international students division of the university and ask them for some guidance..they might help you get in touch with the professors..good luck!
I need your help guys. I am applying to 6 universities below.
From these following universities, which one offer MBA program taught in English?
Kyoto University
Tohoku University
Nagoya University
Waseda University
Ritsumeikan University

Kyushu University
My Japanese skill is not adequate enough to study MBA in Japanese.

Hey guys, i need some advice... Is it really hard to get JLPT 1? I don have any basics in Japanese but i plan to take classes soon. One of the universities stated that I have to be JLPT 1 to be able to join their graduate school. I know that JLPT 1 is the highest level to be acquired..but im still wondering how tough it is...Please do let me know what you think...
Thanks...

I have been reading this thread all day and I have really lived through all your sorrows and joys. Just hang in there all of you, wether you've already attained the recomendation from the Embassy or not.
Last year I've putted all my hopes into getting the recomendation from Japanese Embassy in my country and in the end I didn't get it. I decided not give up.
This year I applied once more. The Japanese test was unexpectedly difficult and I thought I wouldn't even pass to the interview. Yet they called me!
And belive it or not the interview is tommorow!!!
After reading all this, after finding out what is happening around the globe, I was soooo furious that my interview is this late in August!
Should I pass the interview (who knows when the results will be) how on earth will I manage to send all the documents by air-mail by the end of August?
And not to metion that I haven't contacted the proffesors yet.
I called Tamabi (Tama Art University), Musabi(Musashino Art University) and Geidai (Tokyo Universty of Arts) a few months ago and explained them my situation, and they only told me to send the application by the end of August, with the confirmation from the Embassy, and then they will decide wether they'll give me the LoA or not.
Additionly, I'm under a lot of stress because this is very important to me.
I only feel sorry now that I've found out about this forum today, of all days, because it was difficult to sort everything by myself.
Well, for first posting I was quite open.
Just to share, i am in the list of the embassy recommendation..in the list of my university of choice i have only listed one which is Hiroshima university under the supervision of this specfic supervisor.i have in fact worked under him for 3 months during my master's research attachment 2 years ago over ther and hes the one suggested tht i applied for this scholarships for my doctorate study..
i am so lucky tht my future supervisor and even the university international office is super efficient in preparing for me the LOA..despite having need to wait for me to slow mail all my original document as requested by them, they prepared my LOA fairly fast and the whole process takes about a week or so...i have posted my loa to the embassy and i got to say im fairly lucky in this matter..
i noticed tht none of the scholar here mentioned bout hiroshima university and i wonder why..perhaps its not the popular choice but i have in fact been to the campus there and i love it very much...hiroshima university is a great campus and perhaps u guys might want to consider doing it there..
finally, i wish all of u the best of luck..hope everything goess well and i will be waiting for end of january with abated breathe..haha
Hi everybody,
i just found this forum and am really glad that we meet here. I have been recommended by the embassy and finally applied for the scholarship. Now we only have to wait. Does anyone know if the final answer is really coming in feburary and not sooner? There is not much time till April then...
Greetings from Germany!
Hello everybody!
I'm guessing that by now most of you have received their letter of acceptance from your prefered university and what not.... so, do you guys reckon its time to compile a list of Universities and Nominees?
I think it would be fun to know who is going to which university, provided they get accepted by MEXT in the end.
