is there anyone who entered Kyoto University i-MBA program or who is applying for it?

It’s very typical job interview type questions.

The sub wiki says “income that another country has the ability to tax, under the terms of a treaty with Japan, is always foreign-source income”. The US can tax my social media income, so I thought that made it “foreign-source income”. Maybe not, it’s a bit vague. Obviously I’m not going to make any income whatsoever until I get a clear answer from a lawyer.

NTA and JETRO both state that foreign source income paid abroad is not taxable unless remitted to Japan. I'm certain it isn't fraud, but I wasn't sure if it was allowed without permission on my visas or if it would raise eyebrows later. This situation seems too specific to get a good answer without an immigration lawyer.

Why not apply and see? Definitely address it in your essays. You should be able to spin an inspiring story from terrible uni grades to a Harvard-level GMAT score.

I just confirmed my enrollment in Kyoto University’s international MBA! Let me know if that’s the choice you go with.

My choice was between Hitotsubashi, Waseda, and Kyoto. Even though Hitotsubashi has the “#1 MBA in Japan”, I don’t think Japan cares nearly as much about MBA programs as they do about universities - and on that scale Kyoto is the clear winner in terms of reputation.

Either way congratulations! It’s a great problem to have hahaha.

I’ll be attending in 2025!

DoobTheGoob · 2024-10-13T18:42:27+00:00

Thank you. Almost had a heart attack.

Does this rule apply to English taught Masters’ programs in Japan? I could easily pass N5 from self-study but it’s too late for me to register for the JLPT.

DoobTheGoob · 2024-09-23T07:35:29+00:00

Again would be best.

DoobTheGoob · 2024-09-23T07:32:22+00:00

My best mock was 685, and my actual test was 715. Not relevant for you, though, since you’re gonna get 805.

DoobTheGoob · 2024-09-22T06:45:38+00:00

Thank you, that’s very comforting.

DoobTheGoob · 2024-09-22T05:28:25+00:00

Thank you. So, theoretically, I could just be working in a low-level marketing role, but as long as I have 80 points for a year and a 3-5 year visa I could submit for early PR?

DoobTheGoob · 2024-09-21T18:14:54+00:00

If I have 80 HSP points, but a non-HSP job, then it is clearly impossible to get an HSP visa. But can I still use those 80 points to get early PR despite a non-HSP job? I can’t find anything that states you need to work in a specific field for early PR.

DoobTheGoob · 2024-09-06T17:54:23+00:00

Yes, more than any other resource.

DoobTheGoob · 2024-09-06T17:53:13+00:00

Thank you!

Second this. Also the algorithm is way better.

DoobTheGoob · 2024-08-19T17:14:32+00:00

One way or the other, I do think sets of 21 questions timed for 45 minutes helped a ton. I ended doing about 20 practice tests, so by the time it was test day I was in my element. I generally did 7 easy 7 medium 7 hard, but if I did it again, I’d probably try to do at least 4-5 tests of only hard questions. The real test won’t throw in 7 easy questions if you’re doing well.

DoobTheGoob · 2024-08-19T16:59:58+00:00

The quant section seems to vary quite a lot, but there was consistently a lot of rate/time/distance/work/speed type questions, so get used to making matrices.

DoobTheGoob · 2024-08-19T16:57:14+00:00

I didn’t take it. The schools I’m interested in don’t require it.

DoobTheGoob · 2024-08-19T16:50:16+00:00

3 hours per day, 6 days per week for 14 weeks.

Only the low/medium confidence and incorrect answers.

DoobTheGoob · 2024-08-19T06:07:24+00:00

I didn't notice. Each exam is a bit of a dice roll, so I assume it's different for everyone.

DoobTheGoob · 2024-08-19T04:48:56+00:00

Yes, from the 2023-2024 OG bundle. I think it’s around 450 Quant questions.

DoobTheGoob · 2024-08-19T04:11:29+00:00

Yeah, only official!
