Admissions FAQ

Comprehensive Selection

• Can I apply for more than one application type?
  Yes, if you meet the application qualifications.
• How many words do I have to write for my Application Essay?
  The Application Essay should be between approximately 1,000-1,500 words in English. Please make sure to read the question carefully and be specific in your answers.
• Are only applicants who have achieved or are above the standards of activity/achievement listed in the Undergraduate Application Handbook eligible to apply for the "Admissions by Activity Evaluation"?
  No, the standards listed in the Undergraduate Application Handbook is only a guide and is not a criterion for acceptance or rejection. For example, in the evaluation of activities in the field of sports, the size of the competition, position (role) within the group,etc will also be considered. If the applicant has achievements and accomplishments in more than one activity, the evaluation will be based on the combined achievements and accomplishments of multiple activities.
• I studied abroad at a school in a foreign country during my high school. Is there an application type that allows students to take advantage of their overseas experience?
  Yes, "Admissions for Returnee Students" is designed for students with experience studying outside Japan (returnee students). You can also use "Admissions by Activity Evaluation" as this application type also evaluates international experiences such as study abroad. As both of these application types accept April and September admissions, you can choose the timing that best suits you.
• We would like to know about the required documents and preparations for the Admissions by Activity Evaluation.
  The high school transcript is one of the required documents for the application. Details of the documents required for application are listed on the Undergraduate Application Handbook. For the Admissions by Activity Evaluation, proof of activity is also required for the activities described in the Activities Report (Form C).
• Would an internship be counted as one of my activity achievements?
  The University is unable to answer whether or not this will be counted as an achievement in your activity appeal. Please use your own judgment and include this information in your activity report. If you have a certificate, you can include it in the report.
• Under the section explaining how to submit external English language test scores as proof of English proficiency, applicants taking the EIKEN S-CBT are instructed to upload either a Certificate of Passing or an EIKEN CSE Score Certificate for the level they have passed. However, the Admissions by Activity Evaluation section states that EIKEN S-CBT scores are evaluated based on the EIKEN CSE 2.0 score, regardless of whether the applicant passes or fails. If an applicant's failed EIKEN Grade 1 attempt has a higher CSE score than their passed EIKEN Grade 2 result, should they submit the failed Grade 1 score?
  You are correct in your understanding. If your Eiken Level 1 score is higher, please submit that. (The test date must be after October 1, 2024 to be valid.)
