hello everybody!!
I've just spent an hour reading evry single post here!! too bad that now there is only a few people left =((
I am from Turkey and comparing your experiences to mine, I think our embassy did a very good job through the application process. They posted a schedule on their website waaay before the applications start.. They even had the times written! it was like:
the announcement of the applications to be interviewed: june 18, 1 pm.
so we had a pretty smooth process. To cut the story short, at the end, I was lucky enough to be one of the final 13!!! (we had about 250 applicants!)
I already had my acceptance from Hiroshima University before the application and it was my only choice. But it is kind of sad to see that I seem to be the only one to study on Education area.
If all goes well, I will be studying at Hiroshima Uni - Grad. School of IDEC.
Btw, my embassy also told us that we will get the results on December. I am even planning to make a short trip to Japan to meet my professor and to see around the campus!
hope everybody ends up with good news!!
