[@spe3dy744]

Sadly got rejected from Kyoto, but recently found out I got a scholarship for Tokyo. Good luck for anyone watching applying this year :)

[@likatube]

Wow congratulations! Tokyo's gonna be so much fun, very excited for you🥳

[@nadeeshamunasinghe1247]

How you got a scholarships from tokyo..can you help me?

[@nuggetbtl]

I got rejected by Kyoto iup, but got accepted at APU. But I will not give up, am planning to apply for graduate studies at Kyoto after 4 years

[@likatube]

APU is great too!!! best of luck with your studies 🍀

[@pradiptaparia4369]

@nuggetbtl did u submitted sat and toefl score for Kyoto iUP?😊 😊

[@towardsuniverse]

Hey..thanks for sharing this information. I want to ask that when did you came to know about that you've been awarded full scholarship.? At what stage of the scholarship process? 😊

[@likatube]

Hii, I was really lucky because merit-based scholarship is awarded upon admission for my program. I guess for other programs it would need to be at least after the admission decisions come out

[@towardsuniverse]

@@likatube okay.. thanks;-)

How big is the chance to pass the initial screening for graduate school of economics for East Asia Sustainable Economic Development Studies?

[@nealsajipulikkattu937]

Hello, is SAT a must for applying for kyoto and can u make a video on the written exam for the entrance thanks

[@likatube]

Hii, SAT is not a must but TOEFL iBT is needed. The entrance exam is not too difficult, but thanks for the suggestion!

Hi can you assist me with what to do first? Im interested in studying at a Japanese University but unable to Apply as this is my first time. I’m just use to just applying online.

[@edrankallessin6056]

Hello! I am doing International baccalaureate diploma at the moment and I wonder if you maybe know what is the average final examination score that would get accepted? I am interested in the iup at kyoto and I wonder how hard is it to learn japanese parallelly with the course and how much time you need to spend studying (in general)? I'm sorry if these questions are too specific, thanks a lot for your videos, they're very helpful :)

[@likatube]

Hi! It might depend on your major but maybe aim for a 41+. I think the language comes naturally once you get immersed in the environment so don't worry too much about it. 漢字 would definitely require some effort 🙌. let me know if there's any other questions you have!

Hello sister 😊. I am from south asia india. I am planning for Kyoto IUP in Physics major. I will be applying in November. I have 94% in class 12th (maths-99, Physics-93, chemistry-92..) . I will be giving TOEFL IBT HOME, SAT , ACT. I have also done some robotics projects and social work😊. As for the subject requirements should i take all of Sat, Act ,Eju or any of the one will work? Thank u ❤❤

[@likatube]

Hiii I'm not sure what stats other applicants had but I feel like yours are very solid, definitely try applying!!! just choosing one between sat, act, eju for the subject tests will be enough. good luck 🍀

[@expensivecocochannel146]

Hey! I'm currently an ib student and i got predicted a 36/42 without the tok and ee points. Do you think I could be accepted by Kyoto iup or should i aim for higher? (considering i'd like to enter the faculty of economics)

[@likatube]

@@expensivecocochannel146 hiii, I think it's still a good idea to try applying to iup (especially if you have the time)!

[@expensivecocochannel146]

@@likatube thank you so much for your reply! do you have any other tips to increase my chances?🙏🏻

[@likatube]

@@expensivecocochannel146 I think it's always a good idea to emphasize why you chose Japan over other countries in your personal statement. best of luck by the way!!!

Omg are you me? Exact same thing. @likatube thanks for the vid as well

[@EmmaCHALUMEAU]

Hey! I'm interested in this program and I have a small question about the enrollment offer. Is it a confirmation that you have been accepted or is it something that tells you have to obtain a certain score/performance otherwise they don't accept you?

[@likatube]

Hii, most likely it is a confirmation of your acceptance! However, if your final scores are released later, I think you are still expected to notify/mail them your final scores (as long as they don't deviate too much from your predicted scores, there isn't much to worry about).

[@EmmaCHALUMEAU]

@@likatube Thank you so much for answering so fast! Hope you have a great day 😄

[@likatube]

@@EmmaCHALUMEAU You too (o^^o)

[@EmmaCHALUMEAU]

@@likatube I just wanna ask one more thing! What kind of questions can you expect to be asked during the interview? I want to prepare so I have better chances 😊

[@denusobeats7052]

Hey! Is there any faculty for agriculture science? Im planning to enroll there in future for my master programs

[@likatube]

Hii there seems to be quite a few divisions under the faculty of agriculture as well! ⇩ www.kais.kyoto-u.ac.jp/english/

toeful 110+ ☺

@@likatube and did you also submit the sat?

[@likatube]

@@turururut i did (1500+) but i believe it's toefl that's mainly being weighed🤔

[@turururut]

[@AthoofaMohamed]

Hii, may i know what faculties are available in Kyoto uni?

[@likatube]

Hii, what facilities are you specifically thinking of? there are many libraries, canteens, tennis courts (tho you need to join a tennis circle), outdoor swimming pool. thinking of doing a campus tour in the autumn ☺️

[@AthoofaMohamed]

@@likatube I see, eagerly waiting for your campus tour video..May I please know what faculty/field you're in?

[@likatube]

@@AthoofaMohamed ahhh I'm from faculty of engineering. you can also choose science, economics, law etc.

[@kinggundam327]

I already applied last year, is it possible to apply again this year?

[@likatube]

@@kinggundam327 I don't think there's a rule against reapplying so it seems possible 🤔

[@kinggundam327]

@@likatube ohh that's good to hear. Also, what do you think is the basis to pass the first screening? Is it grades, sat scores, ielts scores or essays?

[@likatube]

@@kinggundam327 I'm not so sure about this, but probably gpa...? a strong essay definitely boosts!

[@pradiptaparia4369]

@kinggundam327 hi did u passed the first selection ie document screening stage in the previous year?

[@kinggundam327]
