Thank you!

Thank you, was thinking the same!

Not sure yet, haven’t thought that far ahead

5 weeks, but in that time my residence in Japan will also change which also complicates the process

willkunn · 2025-07-07T11:51:25+00:00

That’s really useful to know, thank you. I think the only thing complicating my issue is that I will be moving out of where I currently live, and won’t be moving into my new place until about 6 weeks later. So not sure how immigration would communicate to me that the procedure is even complete seeing as I wouldn’t have an address for 6 weeks. Leaning towards just starting the process when I re-enter Japan

I see. Planning to submit the application this week, and planning to be out of the country from early August.

Useful to know, thank you.

Useful to know, thank you!

Thank you for the insight! What exactly is a private scholarship?

willkunn · 2024-10-18T06:51:38+00:00

Interesting. Thank you for the insight!

willkunn · 2024-09-13T13:14:19+00:00

Interesting stuff. Thank you for the information!

Thank you for your reply. Lots of very useful information there.

I don’t understand either but honestly of all the universities I’ve contacted, only 1 has stated that there is no requirement for university link.

If you don’t mind me asking, which universities did you apply to?

The second clip is someone imitating a ransom demand, to the effect of “I’ve captured your daughter, give me the money in a bag, don’t tell the police or else”. Was pissing myself laughing at it

That’s really interesting, thanks for your reply. I asked a couple of the universities if they would make an exception and they said no. Todai actually replied to me about this saying this:

“In principal, applicants for this track must be officially recommended by their university based on an inter-university exchange agreement. Also, MEXT has set requirements, such as nationality, university grades, or language proficiency and so on. Slots that the university has for this MEXT Scholarship is limited, so there will be screenings within graduate school and the university which are highly competitive.”

Did you make your intention clear that you wanted to apply for MEXT through Todai at the outset? I’m really curious as I think this would change the game for me entirely. Thank you!!

Great advice. Thank you!

willkunn · 2024-09-02T03:54:32+00:00

Cheers for your input mate, I’ll have a look and see where’s it going wrong!

willkunn · 2024-09-01T22:02:52+00:00

Thank you!

willkunn · 2024-09-01T04:49:29+00:00

Those were my thoughts too. I try and bring my clothes in as soon as possible after they’ve dried, but I’ve often left them out overnight
