Hi! I am applying pearl as 帰国生 from the states as Japanese and ur video really helped! If you don’t mind, I want to know what you wrote in ur essay

I love your video! So informative, but if there is one thing I would like to know, it’s whether you had an interview for waseda. And if so, what kind of questions did they ask you? Were they difficult?

hi! no, i didn’t have an interview for waseda~

Thanks so much for this! I'll also be applying this year as an intl. student. I'm curious, what did you mention in your essay/statement letter? What was the general topic? - Is it more about your major and why you chose it, or why you want to study at the school. - Also, is it more like "emotional" essays they write for American universities, or more like straight foreword and direct? thanks in advance!

Hi! I talked about what made me interested in economics and business and connected it with the business projects I did in my HS. I also mentioned my study plans for the next four years at Keio. I think Japanese unis’ essays have to be more straightforward and concise, unlike the essays for american colleges!

Hi Sojin Kim! Love watching your videos and really like what you shared this time, those are inspiring advices and information that I am looking for. Can you share more about your experience and enviroment in Keio uni? Also what major do you think are good for Keio and Waseda? I kinda consider between that two. Thank you for your sharing and looking forward to your replies^^

hi thanks for watching! yeah i would love to talk more about my keio experience with my college friends! please stay tuned :-) keio only has two majors (GIGA and PEARL) in terms of English program while waseda offers more options. i did hear that waseda’s PSE major is quite popular so you might want to research more about it!

Hi! Thank you so much for making this video. I've always wanted to attend Japanese universities since I was young. I have a question about the portfolio part though. Do you actually have to make an entire booklet or do you just upload like your certificates and such in the application system?

I used google slides to make my portfolio! I attached my awards and certificates, etc.

Is a portfolio required? Or is there a place to attach additional information?
