Waseda is prestigious.. though it's easier to get to get in if you're an international student(and other universities in Japan)... but that's if you didn't attend in a Japanese high school, then you'll avoid all these entrance exams and tasks
Yes, I'm a japanese living in the US but Waseda's brand and name is very prestigious and is usually very difficult to get into if you grad a JP high school but if you grad a hs outside of Japan, your chances increase a lot.
Hello there! I have a question for the admissions for Waseda University’s English-based programme. Can we get admitted with a perfect GPA and high ACT scores, without extracurriculars?
Hey Della, thanks for the video. Working on the ‘flex’ phase of qualifications. I’d like to apply to Waseda potentially after my online Bachelors, but I don’t know if being a GED graduate with no traditional GPA record will be an issue. Does my HS record matter after I get a Degree? I am striving for that 4.0 GPA and I assume that will replace my high school record on applications entirely. Also getting my TEFL, JLPT N4/N3 and taking the SATs just in case it will help. The internet, nor the Waseda recruitment team have provided info on if or what online degrees are accepted so it’s VERY confusing for non traditional graduates 😂
Hi!! I'm planning on joining the school of fundamental science and engineering (cs), but idk the subject requirements for it. Where do you check the IB requirements for certain majors? ToT
From what I know,, the IB requirements are kind of general… like there are no specific requirement for certain majors. To be sure, maybe u can check the appendices in the application guide for the general IB requirements. Hope it helps!
Hey Daphne! I want to apply for the same program and I also am currently enrolled in the ib programme. Is it possible for me to contact you somehow in order to discuss the application process? I can't find any people who would share their experience, so this would be very helpful.
Hi! I know it’s been a while since you posted this video but may I ask what were some of your extracurriculars that you put into your college application?☺️
How do you find the teaching methods in a Japanese university compared to your high school ? (Were you in an international school for IB?) Just wondering if Japanese education style may be all stifling.
a question, does it affect the high school grades to be able to apply to waseda? I am from Argentina, if they accepted me I would have to pay for the entire flight myself?
Honestly I’m not too sure but I believe it does affect ur likeliness to get accepted. But ngl I’m also not too sure by how much it’ll affect it. And yesshh u have to pay for ur flight urself to go to Japan.
Definitely! My experience of teaching was honestly part of my CAS projects. So yea,, if u did something thats related to ur major then u should share it with ur interviewers.
Aaaaaahhhhh just when i needed it, Kali Uchis better show up cause this is “telepatía”. Thanks a lot Della!!! Also once again- the previous waseda video had me wheezing! 🤩
Hello i saw from a comment that you are taking civil engineering.. right? Do you know if it's possible to take the course after taking HND(Higher National Diploma)??
Hii and thank you so much for ur question! I’m really sorry, I’m not so sure about the possibility of applying with HND.. There might be some answers on the waseda’s application guidelines from their faculty of science and engineering website. Hope u can find what ure looking for and good luck for ur apps!
@@sitimaisarah6478 we’re on the same boat tee hee✌🏻✌🏻 i also don’t have any standardized test on hand, but i saw in the guideline that they accept “others” standardized test (aside from SAT, IB, A levels) so… Mmmm idk. Anywayy can I have ur ig username so we can talk this thorough?
Do I need to take IGSCEs or A-levels to enter since I am a foreigner? Because when I checked the rules ig 😭 they said I need to take an English proficiency test, is that all(when it comes to tests)?
Hii!! Well, there are other methods that u can use other than taking IGCSE or A-Levels even if u r a foreigner. There’s also IB or ur national standardized test (depends on ur country). Further details should be in the appendix part of the application guide (for science and engineering faculty). Hmmm I think whether or not u need to take an english proficiency test depends on the standardized tests that u’re applying with..? So yea.. i hope it helps!
Question❓ Were u in IB school from the start? I want to give IB exam after my 12th(18 years age) When I get into IB I have to ask for stuff(shown in the video)and then apply?
Well,, if u are in an IB school and are planning to take the exam to get the diploma, then yes! But again, the documents I listed down might be different for faculties other than the one for the engineering course
@@Dellisya is there any class 12th percentage requirement for admission......I mean like is there a rule that a person with low class 12 percentage can't get admission?
It really depends on the major that u’re interested in tho,, and to answer ur question, I guess tuition fee is quite up there, but there are a lot of scholarships that u can apply for!
Do you know any students who got in that weren't doing the IB program. (Like right now im in 11th grade doing a lot of community college courses and Im curious to see if they have prefereance over IB people)
Hii! Actually a lot of the ppl in my major used the non-IB route to apply. Cuz again, using the IB is just one way to apply soo imo u shouldnt worry abt the uni’s preferences on ur docs/certificates/diplomas.
How much time will it take to submit the application form and then getting admitted to the university and will they take any kind of screening session or interview session with us??
I think it took me around 2 weeks (?) to prepare for my application and submit it (i was in a time crunch when I applied so i dont really remember). The wait to get admitted was maybe a round a month or two after ur applications submission. Getting an interview really depends on the admissions ppl, some people will get it and some ppl dont. I hope these answer ur questions!!
I'm sure Waseda is quite prestigious uni in Japan and extremely hard to get in.So I want to know if your high school scores are average or at perfect level?
I know that U have to atleast have 3 gpa out of 4 for international students (83% in your previous school total) and for japanese it should be 4/4. Choose liberal arts,many people I have watched video have applied to that and choose course which are easy to get in as japanese doesn't give a damn about how much u scored and which course u picked,it's university that all matters to them
Hi, Della! I'm really glad you're doing videos about Waseda uni 😊. I have one question tho. Does international students have to take entrance examination other than writing personal statement to get into waseda?
Hii! Well for what I know,, international students didnt have to take an entrance exam. However, I read somewhere that April enrollees that are international students should take them?? I might be wrong there but thats what I know about entrance exams.. I’m sorry,, I don’t know much abt this matter :((
Hii im planning to apply to Waseda for the 22-23 semester and I wanted to know if you had to take any japanese university entrance exams?? I haven’t been able to find a yes or no answer anywhere😭😭 anyway love your videos!!! thanks
Well,, from what I know is that for september enrollees we didnt take any japanese uni entrance exams. It might be different for april enrollees tho, but I’m really not sure about it :// I hope that answers ur question!
@@NoonPick too bad I still haven't applied. I missed most of the application period due to conflict of schedule and of course the opposition from the family. I'm considering applying soon or maybe just go to Taiwan
Hi!! I am also planning to apply in waseda this sept. I have a question about HS transcript since I am currently still a Grade 12 student It is okey to pass only the 1st quarter of the grades in my grade 12 since the rest of the semester is still not yet taken??
Hey!! I'm super curious as to what they asked you in the interview! And if you remember, what topics were the academic questions (I read they mainly ask math questions?) from?
hello, im applying with my a level predicted grades in January and I want to know how it went for you as your comment is 2 years ago. Thank you so much
So, I had a question in my mind that, how much time did you spend to get IB Diploma and also when did you started it's course? ( you earned a sub cuz you solved most of my questions :> )

Hello there!
I have a question for the admissions for Waseda University’s English-based programme.
Can we get admitted with a perfect GPA and high ACT scores, without extracurriculars?
If an international student wants to study in japanse language, which level of JLPT is required?
Hi, I'm curious is it a full time scholarship? If it is, how much do you pay for your miscellaneous and other school expenses? Thank youu sm.
Hey, actually i wanna know that do they teach business management
Heyy! I checked And not for English undergraduates! There is only economics 💜

Because you said that you submitted your scores from 10-12th grade, do they not look at your grades from freshman year?
I guess not since in Japan, High school is basically grade 10 - 12
Hii! May you tell us what was your IB predicted score?
Would you recommend staying in the Crevia dormitory, or is it better to rent a place outside?

You mentioned an interview :o They are going to interview you?
"my score isn't even near 45' - can mean 40-44

I believe they do have medical school but I think they don't have it in the english-based program. So, the course is only in full Japanese.

Thank you so much, I was interested in the Japanese program anyway as I am learning the language.
What are you persuing at Waseda ?
Civil and environmental engineering!
hello.I don’t know much about IB stuff but how much score needed to apply into your department (probably SILS or TAISI) btw I’m just speculating 😅.
