0:08
process of DOA University in Kyoto Japan

0:16

name and as you can see we have the
0:26
institutions here uh you can click and
0:28
go to the page that we have for this
0:30
University it's in coota Japan not a lot
0:34
of scholarships there just one
0:36
scholarship that we can find um it's a
0:38
full tution as you can see it has like
0:41
different levels uh and then we have
0:43
information on uh the deadlines we have
0:46
information on their tuition fees um
0:49
actually they do a really nice thing uh
0:51
we're going to see like in maybe like
0:54
five minutes or something um they have
0:56
all these numbers in dollars as well and
0:59
also your
1:00
um local currency I think the university
1:03
does a really good job on that now this
1:06
is like as you can see the deadline
1:07
admission deadline for uh September
1:09
entry is February 13th so uh we don't
1:13
have a lot of time but if you if you
1:15
like if you do your best I think you
1:17
might uh get in there because like this
1:21
is the Moment Like This is the point
1:22
where you have to just finish your
1:24
application online and yeah like um
1:28
upload your documents etc etc so then
1:31
you also will need to send your
1:32
documents there but that's in the future
1:34
so like I think it's kind of manageable
1:37
if you hurry up and then if you have any
1:40
other questions about the university as
1:41
always you can just leave them here in
1:42
our comment section in the bottom of the
1:44
page and he only answers every single I
1:47
cannot emphasize this enough he answers
1:49
every question I'm not sure how he finds
1:52
time for that anyway so here as always
1:56
we have um degree like admission Pages
1:59
here you can just click on bachelor's
2:02
here and go to the universities page I
2:04
think they've done a good job uh that
2:07
like their application process is quite
2:10
um clear so basically they do have um an
2:15
admission
2:16
guide and then you can yeah like you
2:18
need to have you need to pay your
2:20
application fee by here but we're going
2:21
to come back to here later so you can
2:24
just click here and read their
2:26
application to guide so we have other
2:30
things here as well like admission
2:32
procedure uh successful applicants Etc
2:34
ET you can just click here on
2:36
application
2:37
guide now this is a 20 23 pages long
2:42
application guide I'm not going to read
2:44
like the entirety of this but I I highly
2:48
advise you to do so like you need to
2:50
know everything if you want to go there
2:52
and study in a different country we're
2:54
going to see the necessary parts and
2:57
we're going to like the parts that we're
2:58
going to use for the actual application
3:00
procedure so this is their um
3:02
application guide so this is for
3:04
Institute of liberal arts for BA program
3:07
application guide 2025 um how can I
3:10
apply so so they have really nice clear
3:14
um eligibility page here so English
3:18
language proficiency we have this native
3:20
native speaker or English 12 or more
3:23
years of education in English or TL IBT
3:27
85 or ilts 6.5
3:30
or duing English test 120 not every
3:33
University accepts um duing English test
3:37
which is a big Plus in my opinion
3:38
because like uh it can be a little
3:41
difficult to like have these for example
3:44
there was there was like a there was a
3:47
viewer who was asking for uh
3:50
universities that they can apply with do
3:52
Ling English test because like toal and
3:54
LTS were not available at her country
3:57
and then ACT SAT blah blah blah
4:00
so if you do have the uh one of these
4:03
and then your educational background 12
4:06
years of school education outside Japan
4:09
graduation diploma from a High School
4:10
accredited by the Japanese Ministry of
4:12
Education culture Sports Science and
4:14
Technology a university entrance
4:16
qualification IB abitor French borate uh
4:20
blah blah blah 12 years of education so
4:23
if you have one of these if you have
4:26
both of these like English language
4:28
proficiency and education background you
4:30
can apply as a firste applicant so these
4:34
two are enough for um to be eligible for
4:38
first year application now if you can if
4:41
you want to apply as a transfer student
4:43
you also need to satisfy one of these
4:46
but this is for like this tutorials for
4:48
first year application so we're going to
4:50
go through with this one and then we
4:52
have content here uh we can look at that
4:55
again they have some very useful stuff
4:58
here uh but we're going to see mostly
5:00
the necessary ones because I don't want
5:02
this video to be like uh more than an
5:05
hour long uh so we have deadlines here
5:08
as you can see February 13th is the
5:11

5:14
need to have a video interview which
5:17
will be as late as February 20 and then
5:20

5:28
concentration blah blah blah can you
5:30
need to read all of these but these are
5:32
basically like what school expects you
5:34
to have or perform in which way and then
5:38
like what is the education about and
5:41

14:33
I'm going to like jump to the end of it
14:35
to not make it very long right let's
14:38
give them some fake
14:40
information I'm okay with giving them
14:42
fake information because I'm not going
14:43
to send them this application anyway so
14:48
like that's why I'm just giving fake
14:50
information
15:06
okay so contact information is now done
15:09
let's get to
15:14
education so we have language if you
15:16
want you can just choose the here but as
15:20
you can see it's it's not mandatory in
15:22
this
15:26
section so
15:29
here's with the reference you need to
15:32
write referee's name and then their
15:34
email I'm not going to click on ask for
15:37
reference right now because then they're
15:39
going to have to send like an actual
15:41
email and I don't want to make them do
15:44
anything unnecessary because this is
15:46
obviously a fake um application so let's
15:49
get to motivation again I'm going to use
15:51
something that I've like I pre-made with
15:54
jgpt doesn't really matter uh but you
15:57
need to type your own like write your
15:59
own motivation letter yourself that's
16:02
extremely
16:04
important so now I'm going to click on
16:07
submit and when I do that it's going to
16:09
show me the things that I should have
16:12
done but they're they're not there right
16:15
for example as you can see we have no
16:17
like see we have like red Parts in here
16:21
right so we need to clear these but as
16:23
you can see we don't have any of those
16:25
in any of these other sections like
16:28
email contact
16:29
education they're obviously all fake
16:32
information just random things that I
16:34
put in but it shows us that pretty much
16:37
everything in here is in order now we
16:41
have um documents here yeah for
16:45
documents we have checklist all right um
16:48
and you can just click on on any of
16:51
these like for example this says blog
16:53
blogs application so unless you upload a
16:57
English language proficiency score you
16:59
cannot like it blocks you from uh
17:02
finishing your application so you can
17:04
just click here right and then English
17:07
language proficiency score I have not
17:09
attached my so to to be able to uh check
17:15
something else let's say I attached the
17:18
listed English score uh it's not going
17:20
to let you unless you actually attached
17:22
something so I'm going to attach a
17:24
random document here right and then now
17:27
I can choose this
17:30
and that's it as you can see so this is
17:32
resolved right so let's do this for
17:35
verifying your high school education
17:37
qualification I'm going to choose a
17:39
random thing you might choose like uh
17:41
I'm
17:42
currently um the expected graduation
17:46
year or month is clearly indicated on my
17:48
transcript or I'm currently studying I
17:50
finished high school I have uploaded my
17:52
certificate or graduation diploma in my
17:54
application in my application so as you
17:57
can see this is also resolved
17:59
uh translation of documents documents
18:01
are in an accepted language first of
18:04
course we need to blah blah
18:07
blah and then reference recommendation
18:09
letter I've asked my referee for a
18:11
recommendation letter so this says
18:15
followup
18:16
required uh because it means that you're
18:19
going to ask for a like a recommendation
18:22
letter and then when the teacher or
18:25
whoever is sending the letter uh sends
18:27
the reference or Rec recomendation
18:29
letter to the university then this going
18:31
to be this is going to be resolved like
18:33
the others okay High School academic
18:35
transcripts let's choose this I've
18:39
attached my high school transcript to my
18:42
application uh passport other card
18:46
ID so I ATT attached those proof of
18:51
application fee payment yeah so we're
18:54
going to see how to do this in a second
18:57
uh other that we have the concentration
18:59
here I understand that my major will be
19:02
liberal arts uh je so we need to
19:05
prioritize our
19:06
preference uh we can choose one of like
19:09
all three of these in different like in
19:12
a priority and then I would like enroll
19:15
uh as a first year student so let's when
19:18
we click it's submit we only have
19:21
reference here because we haven't uh ask
19:23
for for reference uh and again I'm not
19:26
going to do that because like even if I
19:28
would no one's going to send a letter
19:32
obviously I'm not going to commit fraud
19:35
to be able to send uh um a
19:38
recommendation letter so this is this is
19:40
going to stay like this and then
19:43
