I'd recommend contacting the Japanese embassy or consulate in your country and asking them. Good luck! Hey Lynn–

I'm graduating with a BA degree, majored in English Literature. Would it be possible if I further my studies in Japan and work on the scholarship? I've searched online with it's possible to undergo two bachelor degree but the responses were vague and confusing. I hope to continue to do in the field of art.

I hate to say it, but it's been three years since I filled it out, so I can't remember what I put... :-/ But I think I *might* have put "A", since it's impossible to get anything truly official at this point. And maybe I put an extra note saying "received provisional acceptance from professor", or something. Like I say, I can't really remember. Someone at the consulate/embassy where you're applying might have a better idea. --Lars Hey Kara–

I found this to be super valuable, especially the part about the proposal (although I'm going to format mine as a regular anthropology proposal). I do have a question that I would appreciate advice on. On the attachment part of the application, under the list of universities listed, it asks whether I have received admission as a) acquired, b) acquiring, and c) not yet acquired. If I have found a prof willing to work with me, should I select "a" even though nothing official has occurred? Thanks. Hi!

I had my interview yesterday and I'm on the waiting stage. In the attachment I proposed three Universities, buy I haven't gotten a recomendation yet. How important is it to have a teacher's recomendation? Do you think they could reject me for not having one?

I am a graduating BS Chemistry student and very much interested in doing research in Japan. However, I am not that confident with th results of my undergraduate thesis since I wasn't given enough attention by my adviser. By the way, I am not that good in arts but I should say you are a talented cartoonist and blogger (writer). Hi Lars,
