Well, all I can say is that you've got some interesting Embassy there...Well, I signed the pledge yesterday.
I went to the Embassy to seek for the information which they said "No Information yet", then they handed me the Pledge and a Student visa form to fill.
So i got my visa today.

hi, ray. If you apply MEXT scholarship through university recommendation in two universtities, it's clearly stated that if you do that, you will be automatically disqualified.Hi! Everyone! My name is Ray. I have one question about applying through university recommended type.
Do anyone know is it legitimate to applying scholarship through more than one university? Will it be disqualified for double application?
For me, I've got two PhD offer. Both of them tell me to apply for university recommended scholarship. I have no idea what to do. Could anyone help?
Many thx!

Actually, if you apply, the university will begin to selected people and only a certain number of ppls among the applicants will be recommended to the MEXT. You can maximize your chance of getting the scholarship by applying for two at the same time (though it's not allowed, the two universities themselves wouldn't know that you have applied for two universities), then after the university selection, you should ask your professors if you will be recommended to MEXT by the university, if both universities will recommend you, then you must immediately turn one down as soon as possible, before they both hand your materials to MEXT. If only one university will recommend you, then it's just as good as you have only applied for one university. You know what I mean. The universities wouldn't send the materials of those that they don't recommend to MEXT.
However, that's only my guess. Think about it very hard yourself before you really want to apply the MEXT university recommendation at two universities at the same time.
btw, you could also apply for the MEXT embassy recommendation in the Japanese Consulate General in HK as well. If you succeed, you will be going to Japan next April. There are like 3 quotas for the 2012 batch, I guess.hi fildar! Thank you very much for your clear suggestion. I think I have got the right thing that I must do! Really thx so much!!
I think Tokyo U has a much higher chance than Keio for university recommendation. Anyway, good luck!thank you flidar.
Actually I have applied for the scholarship through U Tokyo already several months ago.
Until recently, I started to question about the possibility of apply through two universities. And now I know it is not possible. Therefore, what I must do now is to turn down the other offer immediately, so as to let the university to choose other applicants asap.
Thank you again for your useful information!
I asked the same thing but have not been permitted. Normally, they would only buy your ticket from your country of origin.My signed pledge and passport copy are received already by the embassy
They emailed me that soon I'll be contacted for visa processing
Hope they accept that I fly from a place other than my country :-D
I had another email nowI asked the same thing but have not been permitted. Normally, they would only buy your ticket from your country of origin.
It's good that they allow you to take a flight from another country which is not your country of origin.I had another email now
They accepted my request and sent me the final acceptance letter
But they're still confused regarding my visa processing
Btw, why the letter states that my scholarship is for 2 years?
The professor said that there will be 1 year for language and 2 for MSc?
I'm still waiting for his reply...
Yay, I got it.
Todai / Frontier Sciences in Kashiwa.
I wonder what comes next... haven't gotten much further information yet...
You are rightIt's good that they allow you to take a flight from another country which is not your country of origin.
Since you will begin your language study first, you enter the university as a research student. And the scholarship for research student is 2 years for maximum. After you enter the master or phD study, they will change the period of the scholarship from the research student to master or phD student which is normally 2 years for master and 3 years for phD.
1 year of language study + 2 year of MSc + 3 years of Phd. That's pretty tough, man.You are right
This was confirmed to me by a student that finished MSc and Phd from there
Hope that I can pursue this 6 years plan...
