About 3 weeks
About 3 weeksHello! I just had the interview! they told me that I was very likely to get selected, but they didn't told me when would they give the results, so around how long did it take for your embassy to contact you? I'm so anxious!
A week sounds ok. Sometimes they are really busy.About two weeks here.
A question: how long should I wait before trying to contact a professor if they haven't responded? A week?
Getting nervous.
Oh, good to know that. Let's see what happen.
Also, I am curious.. My main option is Hiroshima University. For which program did you apply?
Hi there. I applied at the Denver consulate, and my interview was about 3 weeks ago.Hi guys. I've been lurking on this thread but this is the first time I'm actually posting anything. I'm actually one of the MEXT applicant this year and seeing all the posts of "getting in" is making me nervous. For those who got recommended, where did you apply and when did you have your interview? Anyone else applying through the Seattle consulate, like me? Thanks for sharing. The best of luck for everyone, but especially me
Wow. Guess I should be expecting something by next week then and Congratulations!!Hi there. I applied at the Denver consulate, and my interview was about 3 weeks ago.
My consulate says that's ok.Congratulations all! And good luck on your LOAs!
Question: is it a problem if the professor that agrees to advise me is different than the one I placed on the form? I haven't heard anything back. : (
Hi guys, I'm new here. A couple days ago, I passed the primary screening, and I was told to get my LoAs! I got a question about trying to get LoAs from multiple universities!
Is it okay for me to send the same research proposal to different profs? I originally wrote my proposal for a project specific to a professor (in biomedicine/life science/biochemistry/molecular stuff). I've met this prof before, and he told me that he'd be interested in taking me on as a student if I can get the MEXT scholarship. Following the suggestion of the embassy, I also want to try applying to two other universities, but the programs I want to apply to, tell me that I must contact a prof before submitting an application.
I kinda feel like this is backstabbing my original prof (who btw is still my first choice), but I really want to have other universities, in case my first choice application goes awry. Cause, you know, nothing is ever certain, especially in life science research.
What do you guys think? :/
Thanks for the advice, Centuries. I feel confident again, haha!I think this is okay. They must understand that as an Embassy-recommended MEXT recipient, you have three slots for LOAs. I imagine this happens often. If you are conversing over email, send a tweaked research proposal that eliminates names/locations/etc.
I believe all my choice schools would prefer me to email my documents to them, however I am wondering would it be best for me to scan everything into one entire document and send it to them or just have individual PDF files? I know I read somewhere that the email may be rejected by the university server due to too many files.
I have sent all my stuff off to the schools... so let's hear what they have to say! Best of luck to those waiting on those acceptances.
Woo hoo! Good luck! What schools did you choose?
I am still waiting for my certificate of health form to be sent back to me, then I can send out as well. Hoping to have everything out by this Friday. My doctors office had a hard time with the form and it took them forever to figure out what to do with it... hope everything is okay with it.
Thank you. Good luck to you too. I chose Chubu, Nagoya, and Kyushu. Nagoya just got back with me last night because the professor I chose didn't teach a research seminar, so he couldn't take on a research student. So they asked me to choose another. I sent them three other people so hopefully someone works lol.
I just sent an email to Tokyo Metropolitan University so I'll see what they have to say.
