MEXT Scholarship for Postgraduate 2011: General Discussions.

Risa · 6 Dec 2010

I also tried to apply to some national universities, but couldn't find a professor... But Keio professor seemed to be quite enthusiastic to conduct my research (my field is international marketing).
The difference of tuition fees in private and public universities can influence MEXT final decision??

thanks, ykk. will be waiting together)) what's your field (sorry, if i missed it in previous posts..)?

ykk · 6 Dec 2010

The truth is that nobody knows.
Most people thinks that it's better to choose national Universities because it costs MEXT less money, but the truth is that you are just supposed to choose the University in which you can conduct your research and best suits your academic expectations.

My Keio professor is also great, I am SO looking foward to study with him.

Edit: My major is graphic design

I'm also waiting for MEXT approval, but still haven't received any news from my consulate... I just wanted to know if anyone here applied for Keio University and already got some news from it?

I agree with you, too
No national university, that I'd contacted, agreed to send me a LOA, it means my field didn't fit them...

Do you think your university grades on the subjects (the academic transcripts) can also influence the final decision? Or it's been already screened by our consulates and MEXT will not consider it? :?

AYunxiaojie · 7 Dec 2010

Hey, guys, I'm happy to talk with you here!
Some of us have already had information from university but others haven't... the game of waiting is still on in a few weeks...
By the way, my major is Economics and if anybody who get LOA from KOBE University and Ritsumeikan University have any information, please share! I'm so worried these days,...☝

Before applying to the scholarship, one of the people that had just finished his 6 years scholarship (research, Master, and Doctorate) told me that the most important thing int this application is:

Your research capabilities

That's why I concentrated on this subject in the interview and my application documents. I've attached with my application a copy of a simple research that I've made, in addition to a letter from a research team in Japan confirming that I'm working with them on mutual research...

akmal · 7 Dec 2010

Hi everybody, my name is Akmal, and i want to apply to MEXT scholarship next year. I have read first 10 pages of this thread, and understood that research proposal is one of the most important things, but i'm confusing about writing it. I have no idea about how to starting it:??
So i came here to get some advice!
p.s. my major is programming. hope somebody will help.

asanoki · 7 Dec 2010

Unfortunately, I was rejected. No information from Tohoku Univesity, but from Embassy.
It was nice to meet you. Good luck!

I can't believe this is happening.

It's hard to believe and I can not understand based on what, Asanoki's embassy has already determined that.
It scares me, maybe our embassies are hiding something, after all, why only the Polish embassy was already being notified of something?

Asanoki,
If I can go to Japan, and you want to try again next year, count on me to help you out there, with the Loas and everything that is possible. Take it like a short postponement of plans and not like something totally bad.

Good luck to us all!

Sorry for hearing these bad news, I wish you will overcome that
I think I will be following you.
I am expecting rejection soon. What can we do? nothing. We already did our best. I will concentrate on the future and forget the past.

That is a really bad news I think that everyone of us feel as if it happens to us. As Ameid4 said.. I believe this situation help us by one way or another way. I mean make a stronger new research plan or perhaps focus on other problems. Consider it as an opportunity to improve.

prettybunny · 8 Dec 2010

i was so shocked...

flidar · 8 Dec 2010

Well, it's scaring, but as MEXT is only cutting a small percentage of their budge, most ppls passing the 1st selection would surely get it. Cheer up guys!

Almeid4 · 8 Dec 2010

But we never wait that the cut could get one of us...
Unfortunatelly, it can happens.

I agree with you Almeid, but we have no authority, we are the audience

and we have to watch and waiting the decision that may change your life

I read a book about how to prepare for Monbusho research scholarship, and it stressed that point too; but I really can't understand how they expect someone who just got his bachelor to have significant research skills.
I don't know how it works in your country, but here in Italy you just study and take your exams. That's it (except maybe for the thesis, didn't get there yet).

In my country, especially in the field of biology, you have to conduct a research for your thesis.... I did a 1 year research to do my thesis
