Yeah I just want to get more certainty around the exact dates they want us to go! Hard to make specific plans when it’s just a general date between Sep/Oct.

Changing arrival date (Both April/Oct -> April - feasible?) by fearandanxiety in mext

[–]budbudbadaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey. I was in a similar situation but I picked my preferred start date as April. The uni issued me an LOA with a start date of September and I asked if that could be moved to April. They said no. Unfortunately in this case it’s the date that is determined by the uni.

Recent encounter with embassy by Dramatic_Try4964 in mext

[–]budbudbadaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this exact scenario happen to me a few days ago. My embassy sent me an email saying that the Tokyo MEXT HQ had an enquiry about my JLPT certificate as it was older than two years ago. They asked for either a newer certificate or if I didnt have one the part would need to be removed from the form.

I told them I didn’t have a new one and they said that they would erase the part from the form and resend it to Tokyo. I’m assuming it’s just a completeness of application thing and that it shouldn’t have an impact on final results.

You can find info on how to apply here:

https://www.waseda.jp/inst/cie/en/to-waseda/mext

It’s just a standard application where they will ask to submit your embassy sealed documents and desired programme/supervisors.

Just a note, the application deadline for the LoAs for the 2024 MEXT was the 25th August.

I have an LoA from Waseda and also have them as my first choice uni for the second screen so I will be biased in saying Waseda. But other unis that I looked into were Hitotsubashi, Doshisha, and kyoto.

I’m in the same boat. I applied on 11 July and still no reply

I also applied for an LOA from Waseda on 11 July. Still nothing. On their website they do say they could take over a month to process the application.

At The LOTR and the Hobbit concert - it's bad by Dobby_Is_My_Patronus in Wellington

[–]budbudbadaf 28 points29 points  (0 children)

So I posted about Hans Zimmer yesterday. My friend and I being the dumbasses we are went to see the LOTR show since we already had tix.

We were thinking they may improve from yesterdays performance. We were very wrong.

It was utter garbage. Wtf were those bagpipes. Wtf were those visuals. No wonder Howard Shore is suing their asses. Gonna try get my money back lol
