I have a question , did you apply for any scholarships also what was your sat score , also did u submit any extracurricular that you did??, I would really like your help 😢😢😢
@@Sue_AH I didn’t put any extra circular activities in personal statement and I didn’t submit sat as I don’t have my scores. As for scholarships I’m looking but haven’t applied
@@Sue_AH i only applied for the matriculation scholarship and was awarded about 5,000 USD but my sat score was only a 1050 or so but it's been so long so idk and my extracurricular was 4 years of concert band and 2 years of marching band with Japanese language competitions
Ahhhhhhhh my paranoia keeps making me come back to these videos so I can calm myself down I want to get accepted into Temple so badly it's a dream of mine! Thanks so much for this video!
Hello, I'm a longtime fan and was originally going to apply for the 2020 school year but due to personal circumstances I wasn't able to go. Now I just applied to the Fall 2025 semester and I just wanted to say your videos have helped me through a lot and you're my favorite youtuber! I hope everything is going well with your job & look forward to the day you post another youtube video❤️ thank you for all you've shared with us!
@@eternaltayy thank you so much for your ongoing support! I’m happy to hear that you applied for the fall semester! I’m hoping you’ll be able to try the higher education system while studying abroad! I’ve had so much going on lately that it’s hard to concentrate on the things that in enjoy, like creating videos on this channel, but once I am able to have a computer again, I will resume posting more regularly!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video! So I plan on applying for fall 2020 as a transfer student, and am curious about the average GPA of students they accept. If it's not too personal to ask, what was your GPA when you got in? I'm currently at a 3.14, but I still have three more semesters to bump it up before I apply. Thanks again!
HI Luna! My GPA was 3.3 unweighted and 3.5 weighted. I honestly think a 3.14 is good enough to get in but if not, then try for a 3.3 I can't wait to see you in the fall!
@@itsumokyameron9525 Yeah, so... I was supposed to get my decision from Temple like a week or two ago, but I didn't get anything. So, I emailed them and it turns out, I accidentally sent my SAT scores to Temple in Philadelphia instead of Temple in Japan. So I recently just did that. So, I won't know whether I got in or not until March. One of my friends from my school got into TUJ though and is committed to going. So, I'm happy for her. Good news for me. I applied to another university in Japan called International Christain University, and I GOT IN!! I'm kind of between Temple and ICU now, so I'll see if I get into Temple and then decide which one I want to go to.
@@211candygirl Wow it's a bit unfortunate that happened to you, but when some opportunities close, another door opens, and it seems like the ICU Japanese university might be a good call!
@@itsumokyameron9525 I GOT INTO TEMPLE! I found out a day ago. Still waiting for a few more colleges, and then I'm going to have a chat with my mom to decide where I'm going. Btw, due to the coronavirus, is TUJ maybe going to do something about the start of the school year? I know it's a bit soon for this, but traveling during a time like this might be risky. I really don't want this to affect whether I'm able to go to Japan or not.
@@211candygirl That's awesome!! Also because of the corona virus, i think temple probably wont be allowing summer admissions for next semester but I feel like fall and spring of next year wont be affected. It is pretty risky to travel right now but honestly the flights are really cheap. I would book now if you are coming here in a few months. Also I wouldn't be too worried, because not many Japanese people are even worried about this virus it actually might not even affect your admission to TUJ :)
I’m 13 n I wanna move to japan for college when I grow up ehh imma apply for a job when I’m 14 n save all the money n move to Japan n go to college but just asking can u buy a house over there or do u have to stay at the dorms
Hi! Thank you so much for making this video. It really helped. I am a high school senior right now but I just discovered TUJ and I am highly considering applying. I just had one question about the application. I have a commonapp account and there I saw that I can submit the application through the CommonApp. If I do send the application through the CommonApp, do I need to fill out an additional online application? Again, thank you so much!
I believe that you actually have to submit the online application as well because TUJ's application process is separate from the common application. I asked some of my friends for a second opinion on your question and that's what they told me. I hope this helps, and I hope to see you at TUJ next fall!
@@itsumokyameron9525 Hey, Cameron! I just finished writing my personal statement and was wondering if you could read over it and make sure if you think there are no major flags with it. If you could give me your email I can share the document with you through Google Docs. If you can't, I totally understand but if you could it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the video. I just applied for Spring 2020, but maybe I should have applied for Fall. Either way, this video was very helpful! I have a question: They are moving locations to a new, bigger campus this year right? Are you currently a student there? What do you think of the new campus so far (If you've seen it/know anything about it). thanks!
Hi! I am currently a student at temple and I started my first semester this year spring 2019. Temple is moving to the bigger campus located in Setagaya this fall. We are pretty much getting some land on Showa women's university. I have seen the new campus but I haven't been inside of it. I would say that it's in a pretty good location. There are a lot of good restaurants and shops located around our school location and it seems like a really good area to have our campus. The train station is also closer (which is a plus, because if you're ever running late for class, it's better that the train station is as close to the school as possible. With our current campus, it's a bit harder since it's around a 10-15 minute walk (depends on how fast you're walking or running). Also one other thing about our old azabu -juban campus is that we didn't have many restaurants or cafes to eat at ( most of the time we had a choice between two spots but the rest of the restaurants were pretty overpriced since we are college students. In conclusion, I think the new campus is in a very great location, and you will enjoy it. I hope to see you next spring! :)
OMG LOVE THE VID! But i hope u wouldnt mind answering a weird question, I have a average GPA of 2.95 but would my study aboard transcript (I was gone for a year so my transcript look wonky) help my chances on getting into TUJ? I feel like I wouldn't get accepted due to my GPA. Thank you for the vid
Thank you for watching and also I'm going to be completely honest with you and say that any gpa that's 2.75 and above gets accepted. They told me not to tell anyone this but you don't have anything to be worried about
Hi! So I'm in 11th grade now and I am interested in studying at TUJ for my 4 years of college. When I looked at the application on the website just to get an idea for when I apply, I saw that you apply to individual semesters rather than for the whole 4 years. Is that just how college applications work? Or would i have to re apply every year? I'm pretty sure I WOULDN'T have to re apply every year, I'm just confused as to how I would apply for a four year undergraduate program with TUJ. Thank you in advance!
You only have to apply to TUJ once! you get to choose which semester you want to apply for so like Summer, Spring, or Fall and you can also defer if you want to go to a different semester later in the year.
@@itsumokyameron9525 oh ok, i think i kind of get it! so after i apply for one of the semesters (and let’s just say i get in) then after that i’d stay for the 4 years? and can you reapply after 4 years? i guess now my question is what the time duration for going there
@@kaybell2369 so you can stay for 4 years and not have to reapply but after that, you will probably graduate and need to either find a job in japan or go to graduate school in order to have a visa
hi!! i know you made this a long time ago, and it’s great!! i have a question though. so i sent an application for TU for the main campus in common app. today i got mg official admission letter! however the question i have is this: given that on my application, i stated that my preferred campus is tokyo, they sent me a card telling me the steps to complete my full admission and a step or two to help me into japan. however, it’s for the entry year level application, and that’s not what i want. i want my entire four years to be there. so my question is, do i just drop this and apply for TUJ now? even though my senior year is coming to a close? what exactly do i do now??
What is your opinion about leaving after completing my 2nd year in TUJ? I'm interested in the Art Major but my main interest is in Graphic Design and I wanted to study a course specialising in that. I would have applied in a uni that gave that course but my Japanese skills right now aren't enough to apply for a course which is Japanese taught. So I was planning to do Art Major in TUJ for 2 years to develop my Art and Japanese skills there and then transfer for my 3rd year to a uni with a graphic design course
My friend's advice was " If you can afford it, and want a 2 year study abroad experience, go ahead" I personally recommend that you go to a university that specializes in graphic design because although some of the tuj credits will transfer over to another university, all of them might not transfer over. I think it really depends on what you want to do and your path that you want to pursue.
Hi! I'm applying in about 2 weeks for Summer 2020 and I'm worried mostly about the personal statement. I'm 27 and was really bad at college very early on when I was around 19-20 and have several Withdraws on my Transcript. My TUJ advisor assured me they only look at GPA and they look at applications holistically and those W's would not hurt me but I'm still nervous. I took a few years off and now I've made straight A's for 3 6 class semesters in a row and have a 3.6 GPA, but my worry is that I don't have any extra curriculars to include in my statement so with those Withdrawals, I feel like my acceptance might lean heavily on how I word my statement. Thank you so much for mentioning the anime thing because I was planning on including that as a minor thing but will focus on the culture and history more now (I love it all). I did co-run my cities largest cosplay club at almost 1000 members and I feel like that's a good thing to include, however I don't know if it's negative because it was cosplay/anime or maybe if I can just say it was a Japanese club and not specify? I plan on getting my BA in the language and becoming a translator, do you think it would be bad for me to say I wanted to be a translator for an anime or game company, or would they see that as good since I know what I want to do with the degree or should I not mention anime at all even if it's part of my career goal? IF it's not too much to ask, could you give some tips on what you wrote about? I'm super nervous about the personal statement
So I think it's probably fine to include running the largest cosplay club because you did lead a club. I used to cosplay a lot too so i completely understand why you want to include it in your personal statement. I think the main reason why the admissions officer told me to not put anything anime in my personal statement was because it separates you from the majority of people who say "i want to go to temple uni because I like anime" ( that sort). Also my personal statement was actually pretty bad now that I look at it, but I wrote about which types of japanese art, and music that I enjoy. I also wrote about joining japanese clubs, doing a japanese speech contest, participating in language bowls, and also volunteering to tutor my peers in Japanese. I also think saying that you want to be a translator will definitely boost your Personal Statement because I believe temple is looking for students that really have the passion to learn and also stay in japan. I hope this helped!
@@xi5016 I did! Covid happened as soon as I was accepted so I just got here last April lol. I ended up swapping my major to Communications for a few reasons but it's been great!
@@Scopatone Congrats! My application was just accepted like 3 weeks ago, maybe the offer is coming soon lol. I was graduated from a canadian high school in 2018, but due to some reasons I have to go to university this year. Hope I can see you in TUJ!
🙁Hi! I’m interested in applying to Temple University Japan for Computer Science B.S and would appreciate any advice. My Class 12 GPA is 2.85(70.6%), and I didn’t take math, but I’m currently preparing for the EJU Mathematics Course 2. I’m a bit worried about my chances since I’m not sure how well I’ll do on the EJU due to the different exam pattern. Also, can I apply multiple times if needed? Thank you for your help! . Btw im really tensed because I barely have 4 good Universities orher than TUJ that offers Computer Science(Undergraduate) in english and its not easy to get admitted due to less number of slots available.
@@robincollar I’m not sure about how many times you can apply to temple in one year but I assume it’s twice per year (usually they say it in the rejection email) . As for GPA, it’s also quite difficult to tell what range you should be in to get accepted since it’s getting a bit more competitive each year (due to a large amount of students applying). Well above 2.5 should be a comfortable range but I also had a 3.2 high school gpa when I applied. The personal statement is also incredibly important when applying because I genuinely determines if you get in or not based on the reasons why you want to go to TUJ. Also even if you do get rejected, they recommend taking a semester of community college courses so that your High school GPA basically gets wiped and you can use that first semester of your college GPA to apply to TUJ. I hope this helps even a little bit! I have already graduated last year so I’m not too sure how much has changed!
@@itsumokyameron9525 Excuse me! I have a few question! Q1 If I take 15 credits in the summer semester and fall semester for 4 years then what about the spring semester? Is it a vacation or is it mandatory to attend classes? (The student visa will be on TUJ) Q2 All courses are available each semester? Q3 I can't send my class 12 transcript to TUJ through Parchment because I did my class 12th by government open school so even after requesting they won't respond. I do have the original marksheet and migration certificate. I can't courier because I can't get my open school envelope and all.. so can I send them my transcript on their mail id by converting it into a pdf? Please Reply. Q4 Will Truecopy service work for TUJ? Because Truecopy can get my transcripts but other services like Parchment don't have my institute name.
I really appreciate you doing this video it helped me a lot during my research❤❤, i actually plan on going to tuj for my bachelor degree but i have a few questions first , the ONLY thing i am good at is studying and being always at the top of my class, therefore, i didn't do any extracurricular throughout my whole life, i didn't volunteer, i didn't join any clubs, i dont do anything i just study , also the school that i go to does not provide any clubs for me to join, and i didn't win any awards so far just 2 certificats for being at the top of my class ,soooo will this affect my ability to get a scholarship or get accepted to tuj????😢😢😢 Also how much does the merit scholarship cover i would really love to know😢😢.
I only know that TUJ is getting alot harder to get accepted to since i created this video. It was a lot easier 3 years ago so I am not sure how competitive it is. I think mostly they accept you based on GPA first and then also try to make sure you have other attributes that you can contribute to the student body. also im not sure how much the merit scholarship covers but it's on the website
I just went through the application but do I need to send my transcript immediately after sending the application or do I need to wait until TUJ responds.
Hi my name is Mark, I really want to study in temple university japan! But the thing is that my high school gpa is low. I been working to get my money up for college but I don't know how to raise my GPA. Please let me know how to improve thank you! Love from the Marshall island🇲🇭
i saw on the website that a portfolio is accepted for transfer students applying to the art major, but do you know if i need to submit a portfolio if i want to apply for art major as an undergraduate?
Hello , I wanted to know that since October 15 prior to entry year is the deadline for Diamond Scholarship , so you wont be a continuing student on October 15 prior to entry year and u said that diamond scholarship is for continuing students?! Can u please explain that?
I used to have a part-time job but had to quit to focus only on school. I usually have friends that work at cafes and bars for part-time jobs or english teaching. Also I don't think it's hard to graduate from TUJ
@@itsumokyameron9525 I wanna travel around the world as a backpacker. Do you think I can do it while I am in the TUJ? Do you think there are some time to travel?
do you consider being accepted after their evaluation on you to be difficult? is it hard to get accepted? i do extra curriculars and have been japanese culture all my life and idk what i can do for my senior year to help improve my chances of getting accepted.
I don't really think that getting accepted was difficult. I think with extra curricular activities or just volunteer work is enough to help you get accepted with the addition of a good GPA and academic standing.
I currently go to college in California but I applied to transfer to TUJ for spring 2022! I’m praying that I get in I’ve been wanting to study in Japan for such a long time now. Also, since I’ve already done a year of college, does having those credits give me a better chance to get in?
@@itsumokyameron9525 ah that’s good to know, thanks for responding so fast too! If u are cool with it I do have a few other questions about TUJ should I just shoot them to you in this comment section or is there some other app I would be able to ask you on?
i sent my application already, but i havnt finished high school and have not completed all my duel enrollment classes yet, do I send an unofficial transcript? I'm so stuck on this part lol
@@youssef_loves_u You should send your unofficial transcript even though you’re not completely done with high school yet. They need to see what type of grades you were able to get while in high-school in order to determine if you’re a good fit. I applied to TUJ in the winter and gave them my unofficial transcript while I applied, then followed up with my official transcript when I graduated in the spring. You could probably go through parchment.com to order it or your schools registrar’s or academic advisor’s office. I hope I was able to help!
I saw that you said not to mention anime in the personal statement...maybe that’s why I didn’t get in the first time. Oof. But I’m gonna apply again so wish me luck :))
Good luck! you've got this! :) Also I don't think that mentioning anime is what will get you denied from getting into temple, but it's only if you talk about anime and that's it ! The admissions officer kindly told me that about a year ago
itsumo kyameron well I briefly mentioned it but what you said about introducing myself and talking about an aspect of the culture I like I could definitely incorporate into my personal statement :3
Hi ! I’ve been wanting to apply for Fall 2025, but I had some questions before I apply. I know it’s a weird question to ask, but do you think I have a chance of getting accepted into TUJ with a GPA of 3.12 and a SAT score of 1290? I’ve also worked really hard for my personal statement.
@@TheFlightVlogger_2025 hi, I think you have a high chance of getting accepted. TUJ is necessarily a difficult school to get into, the hardest part is staying in the school (most students have financial difficulties when trying to stay enrolled at TUJ)
For the visa, can I apply to get my visa through TUJ before getting accepted? I need a visa through TUJ and the deadline is May 15th, and it's pretty close. My plan is to apply to TUJ after I get my transcripts which will be some time around May. Do you need to get your visa before you apply or after? I'm trying to transfer after one year of college. The only problem is the deadlines, and I want to go attend this upcoming fall, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to make the application deadline. Also is TUJ affordable?
You only get the visa application after you're accepted because if you aren't accepted, then you can't apply yet. Also you can check TUJ's tuition and fees at this link. www.tuj.ac.jp/ug/cost-financial-aid/tuition
@@itsumokyameron9525 The website says may 15 for those seeking visa through TUJ, and those not seeking student visa through tuj july 1st. Would I have to submit my application before may 15 since I don’t have a visa?
I think when I sent in my final documents it was around November 2017 and then I got my acceptance letter in January 2018. So I think it was around 3 months!
In order to get accepted to tuj, I believe you need at least a 2.5- 4.0+ GPA. As for SAT scores, I'm not entirely sure. I got a pretty low SAT score so I'm pretty sure if you get 1000+ on the SAT and 21 on the ACT you should be pretty comfortable on getting accepted to TUJ.
I have two questions 1I want to do the computer science program and it’s saying I do 2 years in Tokyo and than 2 years back on the USA campus. Does this have to happen? Can I choose to stay the full 4 years in Tokyo? ( hope you can answer because I haven’t got an answer back from the school) 2. Did you put your SAT scores in the application or not. I’m seeing it is optional but I really want to be accepted.
@@itsumokyameron9525Aww if they sending me back to the US after 2 years then I'd rather pick a different university. I want to complete my full 4 year BA degree in Japan.
I have applied to get into TJ about four times now first starting Spring 2019 Fall 2019, Spring 2020, and Was just recently denied as a commenting on this video for summer 2020. At my current University in the US. I have a 3.1 GPA. and I was told to at least get a 2.75 gpa from the last time I applied. I am very certain that I did in fact meet this requirement, but I was waitlisted and they still denied me. Anything I should try before applying again?
I am wondering how long it took for you to receive admissions results after submitting application. I have received the email about changing my address if I need to. Does that mean I will find it soon?
I can't remember entirely but i believe I submitted my application in late October and got my acceptance letter in Nov/Dec. I think your results will arrive soon!
have questions if I study in japanese language school and I got n2 level so is it compulsory to give EJU or entrence exams to get admission into vocational school in Japan?
If you are trying to apply for temple, you don't need any Japanese language requirements since it's an American university. You would most likely need the Japanese Language Proficiency Test for Japanese Universities. sorry, I don't have much information on this topic since I am only going to Temple University.
When you apply for the Tuj awards scholarship do you have to keep up applying every year because there is a matriculation fee you have to pay every year to get to the next year
The matriculation fee is a one time payment and you only have to pay for it your first semester at TUJ. Also you do have to keep applying for the TUJ scholarship if you want to pay less in tuition.
of course! i only talked about high school transcript specifically because most of my subscribers are in highschool or just graduated highschool . but yes college transcripts are needed if you are transferring
I'm having so much trouble sending my transcripts. It seems like the list of websites they provided don't work anymore or are only for high school transcripts. Did you experience the same? Any info would be greatly appreciated ^-^
Hey! So I actually applied for tuj while I was in high school, so I never really needed to use diploma sender. But, I believe you can always still mail/ email to send your transcripts even if those websites don't work. I apologize for the lack of info, but I hope this helps
So i submitted my application and transcript for only a semester in the summer ;-; I see tht a student vise from the school was over last month but without is April . Should I apply without since in most staying for more than 3 months ?
I think if you are coming to Japan as a student even for less than 90 days, you still need to come on a student visa. It'll be easier for you to enter Japan as a student than a tourist at the moment.
Im from Philippines do i need to take all the test for English proficiency test or just pick one? And since im not a native english speaker do i still need to take sat or act?
Does getting into the normal temple university, mean you’ll automatically be accepted to the Japanese campus or do you need to apply seperate? Does it increase your chances?
When are you guys planning to attend Temple University? What major are you considering? Also, what sparked your interest in the Japanese language and culture?
I decided to go when I realized I was about the GPA requirements. My major would probably Anime History. My minor would probably be otaku studies. I was interested in Japan after watching my first Loli Hentai. SUGOI!
@Amina Karina oh my goodness! i'm so sorry I usually respond earlier but I didn't see your comment! Also i'm not entirely sure but I think there are IB diploma students attending temple. I may have to ask around! But I would definitely ask newstudent@tuj.temple.edu for a better answer!
@Amina Karina So I was originally a business major but I decided to change my major this summer semester because I realized that I disliked math. So now, I am a Japanese major. Also yes you do register for your classes during orientation week and the academic advising counsellors should help you out with that during the first two weeks of your time at temple. Also thank you so much! i put a lot of effort in this video because I really wanted to help students like myself that had questions about the application process and being admitted and such.
Once you do the online application and they email you shortly after, will they go over what to do next in their email? I know you go over it in this video! But like when they get back to you will they verify to me what to do next?
Yes you should receive an email after and once you're accepted, tuj should give you the next steps. It takes TUJ a while to get back to applying students though.
@@itsumokyameron9525 Thanks! Did you apply to TUJ straight out of high school? Also, would you say getting into TUJ with a 3.3 gpa hard? I ask because I too currently have a 3.3 as a Junior, so did you have any big extra curriculars that stood out or anything like that?
@@thatsydney Yes I applied to TUJ Straight from high school or around the middle of my senior year. I had a 3.2 gpa and also my SAT scores were pretty bad so I think you should be able to get in pretty easy!
@@itsumokyameron9525Oh my god, that's good news!! Thank you. Is it really possible to have as much as 3,000,000¥ in your account at such a young age? Maybe the problem is in my country but it will not be possible to get that amount of money even if I save my entire salary for two years 😵😵
@@blacksuit7952 most students take out loans or get government financial aid/ scholarships. I definitely could not afford it but this tuition is so normal for us americans :(
I would say you would need to provide your college GPA if you are transferring to or applying for an undergraduate or graduate degree at Temple university. If you took a break straight from out of high school and you didn't go to college, then I believe you would still have to provide your high school transcript. I hope this helped!
Hi! So I actually started preparing for this my junior year of high school so that I would have enough time to get the documents in for the deadlines. But I would say do it as soon as you can.
It depends on what you consider as expensive. I personally think it is expensive. But it gets cheaper after your first year because of financial aid and grants, however without that I would not think tuition was cheap
Yeah unfortunately... but the even sadder part is that it's still cheaper than most colleges in America but you get to experience Japan while going to college.
@@Makish1ma From my knowledge, I do not believe they do accept the MEXT scholarship.This is where I found all of the external scholarship information --->(www.tuj.ac.jp/ug/cost-financial-aid/scholarships/external.html) also you can ask temple with the email newstudent@tuj.temple.edu sorry, i hope this helps...
Hello. I am planning to apply for Spring 2021 at TUJ and my GPA is currently a 2.9 but Im in summer classes now and hoping to bump it up. Do hou think I could still have a chance in being accepted? I have dreamed of this for years and hope to get in.
@@patricemason6009 I think you would have a good chance at getting accepted! However, since i'm only a student, I cannot guarantee 100% whether or not you will get accepted. I think having a strong application, high gpa, and college credits will strengthen your chance of being accepted.
Alright! So, Am I able to apply for the college and on July 1st I can apply for the visa? Or do I have to wait until July 1st to apply for both? I am working on my personal statement now, but if you have any more advice on what to write, that would be helpful! Should I mention that I have been self studying Japanese and that I had visited Japan to get more into the culture?
@@patricemason6009 I believe you're supposed to apply for the college first and then apply for the visa, because you have to be accepted first before they can process your visa application. Also I believe mentioning that you've been studying Japanese and visited japan before helps your application because I think tuj is trying to look for students who are planning on staying in Japan. Also if you have any sort of specific things about Japanese culture that you like, such as traditional art, or tea ceremonies, I think mentioning anything like that would strengthen your application, as long as you have a good connection with Japan and certain cultural aspects that you find yourself interested in.
I don't know if they accept common app but the TUJ application is fairly easy and does not take up much time. I would ask temple because i'm only just a student ac@tuj.temple.edu
can people from England who go to college not A levels get in? I plan to do college instead but want to go to this university and cant find any information online about students that arent from America
@@Kami.art06 so i'm not technically an exchange student because i'm doing my whole college degree at temple university in Japan so there's no other school to technically "exchange" with! You can go here without having to graduate from a college in america.
@@itsumokyameron9525 thank you! I was arguing with my brother because I told him that you were in an exchange student and you’re doing your full college years in Japan and he was like but “that’s Temple University, it’s only in America’’
sorry I just saw your message. The credit that I believe I talk about is credit for applying for a loan. In order to receive a loan, you need credit so that they can verify you being credit worthy. I was 17-18 at the time of my application process, so I did not have credit or a credit card whatsoever. I needed someone with credit and a bank account to apply for a loan.
itsumo kyameron Kawasaki, oh okay. Seriously keep it up with them videos. Living out in japan is definitely not easy so I understand the struggles . I’ve been thinking about making videos out here as well so some day I’ll get around to it . I have another friend who makes a ton a videos also and he is very smart cool guy. I’ll send his UA-cam page okay. The more people you know in japan The better right 🤗 I’m currently self employed in construction and odd jobs here and there but I haven’t gotten around to the Tokyo area. My wife is Japanese and I have a 17 year old daughter and a 13 year old son so yeah, I’m 45 years young .
This may be a dumb question but is there a ‘starting’ semester for Japan colleges? For example in the us, typically the starting semester for HS and college is in august/September (fall)
So you can actually join the college at anytime before the semseter starts. For example, you can join in spring but the deadline to apply will be in fall. If you want to join in fall the deadline to apply will be in summer. So you can join either spring, fall, or summer semesters. I hope this makes sense.
@@itsumokyameron9525 thanks for answering! :) and sorry to bother but I had one more question. In your video, and I heard, that you need SAT and ACT scores, but on the website it says it’s “optional”, so I’m a bit confused. Is it a requirement or optional?
@@jazroNA I believe if you're american you need SAT or ACT scores but if you are from another country, the equivalent test would be okay. I think they accept TOEFL and I cannot remember the other test.
thank youu for this video i needed this but i wanna ask something i literally have a 2.5 gpa actually 2.56 will it affect on my application? is it hard for me to get in now?
of course ! and i really have no idea if a 2.56 will affect how you get in. Since this video is quite old and TUJ was a pretty small university at the time, it was pretty easy for me to get in. I do believe that you just need to at least have a 2.5 GPA to apply though
it's probably a better idea but i would suggest if you want to get the raw college experience then it would be better to live in the dorms. It's an easy way to make friends that are attending temple.
IM SCREAMING “maybe your sitting on the toilet rn” I AM
lol i feel like people would watch my videos on the toilet 😂
omg I just sat down on the toilet when I hit play too
MEE TOO HDHFHCJDK
Dude I’m sitting on the toilet rn ALSO LOL
I got accepted to TUJ today! I don’t think I would’ve got accepted if it weren’t for this video. Thank you very much for the help with this video.
Thank you for watching my video and congratulations on your acceptance! I'm glad I could help! Hopefully you'll enjoy TUJ
I have a question , did you apply for any scholarships also what was your sat score , also did u submit any extracurricular that you did??, I would really like your help 😢😢😢
@@Sue_AH I didn’t put any extra circular activities in personal statement and I didn’t submit sat as I don’t have my scores. As for scholarships I’m looking but haven’t applied
@@Sue_AH i only applied for the matriculation scholarship and was awarded about 5,000 USD but my sat score was only a 1050 or so but it's been so long so idk and my extracurricular was 4 years of concert band and 2 years of marching band with Japanese language competitions
Ahhhhhhhh my paranoia keeps making me come back to these videos so I can calm myself down I want to get accepted into Temple so badly it's a dream of mine! Thanks so much for this video!
did you get in
Hello, I'm a longtime fan and was originally going to apply for the 2020 school year but due to personal circumstances I wasn't able to go. Now I just applied to the Fall 2025 semester and I just wanted to say your videos have helped me through a lot and you're my favorite youtuber! I hope everything is going well with your job & look forward to the day you post another youtube video❤️ thank you for all you've shared with us!
@@eternaltayy thank you so much for your ongoing support! I’m happy to hear that you applied for the fall semester! I’m hoping you’ll be able to try the higher education system while studying abroad! I’ve had so much going on lately that it’s hard to concentrate on the things that in enjoy, like creating videos on this channel, but once I am able to have a computer again, I will resume posting more regularly!
Hello, did you accepted?
take a shot every time I say newstudent@tuj.temple.edu
Thank you for taking the time to make this video! So I plan on applying for fall 2020 as a transfer student, and am curious about the average GPA of students they accept. If it's not too personal to ask, what was your GPA when you got in? I'm currently at a 3.14, but I still have three more semesters to bump it up before I apply. Thanks again!
HI Luna! My GPA was 3.3 unweighted and 3.5 weighted. I honestly think a 3.14 is good enough to get in but if not, then try for a 3.3
I can't wait to see you in the fall!
itsumo kyameron Thank you so much for responding, I feel a lot more confident!
@@lunalyn3607 No problem, and if you have anymore questions let me know!
Ur a life savior
Aww I'm just trying to help :)
AHHH!! I sent in my application to TUJ a couple days ago. Just waiting to see whether I get in now D:
that's awesome! I hope you make it in! let me know when you do! :)
@@itsumokyameron9525 Yeah, so... I was supposed to get my decision from Temple like a week or two ago, but I didn't get anything. So, I emailed them and it turns out, I accidentally sent my SAT scores to Temple in Philadelphia instead of Temple in Japan. So I recently just did that. So, I won't know whether I got in or not until March.
One of my friends from my school got into TUJ though and is committed to going. So, I'm happy for her.
Good news for me. I applied to another university in Japan called International Christain University, and I GOT IN!! I'm kind of between Temple and ICU now, so I'll see if I get into Temple and then decide which one I want to go to.
@@211candygirl Wow it's a bit unfortunate that happened to you, but when some opportunities close, another door opens, and it seems like the ICU Japanese university might be a good call!
@@itsumokyameron9525 I GOT INTO TEMPLE! I found out a day ago. Still waiting for a few more colleges, and then I'm going to have a chat with my mom to decide where I'm going. Btw, due to the coronavirus, is TUJ maybe going to do something about the start of the school year? I know it's a bit soon for this, but traveling during a time like this might be risky. I really don't want this to affect whether I'm able to go to Japan or not.
@@211candygirl That's awesome!! Also because of the corona virus, i think temple probably wont be allowing summer admissions for next semester but I feel like fall and spring of next year wont be affected. It is pretty risky to travel right now but honestly the flights are really cheap. I would book now if you are coming here in a few months. Also I wouldn't be too worried, because not many Japanese people are even worried about this virus it actually might not even affect your admission to TUJ :)
I’m 13 n I wanna move to japan for college when I grow up ehh imma apply for a job when I’m 14 n save all the money n move to Japan n go to college but just asking can u buy a house over there or do u have to stay at the dorms
Hi! For the first semester, you have to stay in the dorms unless you have family over in Japan/ someone you can live with in Japan.
did you?
Hi! Thank you so much for making this video. It really helped. I am a high school senior right now but I just discovered TUJ and I am highly considering applying. I just had one question about the application. I have a commonapp account and there I saw that I can submit the application through the CommonApp. If I do send the application through the CommonApp, do I need to fill out an additional online application? Again, thank you so much!
I believe that you actually have to submit the online application as well because TUJ's application process is separate from the common application. I asked some of my friends for a second opinion on your question and that's what they told me. I hope this helps, and I hope to see you at TUJ next fall!
itsumo kyameron thank you so much! i really appreciate it :)
@@itsumokyameron9525 Hey, Cameron! I just finished writing my personal statement and was wondering if you could read over it and make sure if you think there are no major flags with it. If you could give me your email I can share the document with you through Google Docs. If you can't, I totally understand but if you could it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the video. I just applied for Spring 2020, but maybe I should have applied for Fall. Either way, this video was very helpful! I have a question: They are moving locations to a new, bigger campus this year right?
Are you currently a student there? What do you think of the new campus so far (If you've seen it/know anything about it).
thanks!
Hi! I am currently a student at temple and I started my first semester this year spring 2019. Temple is moving to the bigger campus located in Setagaya this fall. We are pretty much getting some land on Showa women's university. I have seen the new campus but I haven't been inside of it. I would say that it's in a pretty good location. There are a lot of good restaurants and shops located around our school location and it seems like a really good area to have our campus. The train station is also closer (which is a plus, because if you're ever running late for class, it's better that the train station is as close to the school as possible. With our current campus, it's a bit harder since it's around a 10-15 minute walk (depends on how fast you're walking or running). Also one other thing about our old azabu -juban campus is that we didn't have many restaurants or cafes to eat at ( most of the time we had a choice between two spots but the rest of the restaurants were pretty overpriced since we are college students. In conclusion, I think the new campus is in a very great location, and you will enjoy it. I hope to see you next spring! :)
@@itsumokyameron9525 Awesome to hear, sounds like it'll be an improvement. Thanks for the thorough answer. And yeah, I hope so too! :D
OMG LOVE THE VID! But i hope u wouldnt mind answering a weird question, I have a average GPA of 2.95 but would my study aboard transcript (I was gone for a year so my transcript look wonky) help my chances on getting into TUJ? I feel like I wouldn't get accepted due to my GPA. Thank you for the vid
Thank you for watching and also I'm going to be completely honest with you and say that any gpa that's 2.75 and above gets accepted. They told me not to tell anyone this but you don't have anything to be worried about
Hi! So I'm in 11th grade now and I am interested in studying at TUJ for my 4 years of college. When I looked at the application on the website just to get an idea for when I apply, I saw that you apply to individual semesters rather than for the whole 4 years. Is that just how college applications work? Or would i have to re apply every year? I'm pretty sure I WOULDN'T have to re apply every year, I'm just confused as to how I would apply for a four year undergraduate program with TUJ. Thank you in advance!
You only have to apply to TUJ once! you get to choose which semester you want to apply for so like Summer, Spring, or Fall and you can also defer if you want to go to a different semester later in the year.
@@itsumokyameron9525 oh ok, i think i kind of get it! so after i apply for one of the semesters (and let’s just say i get in) then after that i’d stay for the 4 years? and can you reapply after 4 years? i guess now my question is what the time duration for going there
@@kaybell2369 so you can stay for 4 years and not have to reapply but after that, you will probably graduate and need to either find a job in japan or go to graduate school in order to have a visa
hi!! i know you made this a long time ago, and it’s great!! i have a question though.
so i sent an application for TU for the main campus in common app. today i got mg official admission letter! however the question i have is this:
given that on my application, i stated that my preferred campus is tokyo, they sent me a card telling me the steps to complete my full admission and a step or two to help me into japan. however, it’s for the entry year level application, and that’s not what i want. i want my entire four years to be there. so my question is, do i just drop this and apply for TUJ now? even though my senior year is coming to a close? what exactly do i do now??
What is your opinion about leaving after completing my 2nd year in TUJ? I'm interested in the Art Major but my main interest is in Graphic Design and I wanted to study a course specialising in that. I would have applied in a uni that gave that course but my Japanese skills right now aren't enough to apply for a course which is Japanese taught. So I was planning to do Art Major in TUJ for 2 years to develop my Art and Japanese skills there and then transfer for my 3rd year to a uni with a graphic design course
My friend's advice was " If you can afford it, and want a 2 year study abroad experience, go ahead" I personally recommend that you go to a university that specializes in graphic design because although some of the tuj credits will transfer over to another university, all of them might not transfer over. I think it really depends on what you want to do and your path that you want to pursue.
Hi! I'm applying in about 2 weeks for Summer 2020 and I'm worried mostly about the personal statement. I'm 27 and was really bad at college very early on when I was around 19-20 and have several Withdraws on my Transcript. My TUJ advisor assured me they only look at GPA and they look at applications holistically and those W's would not hurt me but I'm still nervous. I took a few years off and now I've made straight A's for 3 6 class semesters in a row and have a 3.6 GPA, but my worry is that I don't have any extra curriculars to include in my statement so with those Withdrawals, I feel like my acceptance might lean heavily on how I word my statement. Thank you so much for mentioning the anime thing because I was planning on including that as a minor thing but will focus on the culture and history more now (I love it all). I did co-run my cities largest cosplay club at almost 1000 members and I feel like that's a good thing to include, however I don't know if it's negative because it was cosplay/anime or maybe if I can just say it was a Japanese club and not specify?
I plan on getting my BA in the language and becoming a translator, do you think it would be bad for me to say I wanted to be a translator for an anime or game company, or would they see that as good since I know what I want to do with the degree or should I not mention anime at all even if it's part of my career goal? IF it's not too much to ask, could you give some tips on what you wrote about? I'm super nervous about the personal statement
So I think it's probably fine to include running the largest cosplay club because you did lead a club. I used to cosplay a lot too so i completely understand why you want to include it in your personal statement. I think the main reason why the admissions officer told me to not put anything anime in my personal statement was because it separates you from the majority of people who say "i want to go to temple uni because I like anime" ( that sort). Also my personal statement was actually pretty bad now that I look at it, but I wrote about which types of japanese art, and music that I enjoy. I also wrote about joining japanese clubs, doing a japanese speech contest, participating in language bowls, and also volunteering to tutor my peers in Japanese. I also think saying that you want to be a translator will definitely boost your Personal Statement because I believe temple is looking for students that really have the passion to learn and also stay in japan. I hope this helped!
Hey bro,did you get into TUJ? coz my situation is pretty much the same to yours, except the club part lol
@@xi5016 I did! Covid happened as soon as I was accepted so I just got here last April lol. I ended up swapping my major to Communications for a few reasons but it's been great!

🙁Hi! I’m interested in applying to Temple University Japan for Computer Science B.S and would appreciate any advice. My Class 12 GPA is 2.85(70.6%), and I didn’t take math, but I’m currently preparing for the EJU Mathematics Course 2. I’m a bit worried about my chances since I’m not sure how well I’ll do on the EJU due to the different exam pattern. Also, can I apply multiple times if needed? Thank you for your help!
.
Btw im really tensed because I barely have 4 good Universities orher than TUJ that offers Computer Science(Undergraduate) in english and its not easy to get admitted due to less number of slots available.
@@robincollar I’m not sure about how many times you can apply to temple in one year but I assume it’s twice per year (usually they say it in the rejection email) . As for GPA, it’s also quite difficult to tell what range you should be in to get accepted since it’s getting a bit more competitive each year (due to a large amount of students applying). Well above 2.5 should be a comfortable range but I also had a 3.2 high school gpa when I applied. The personal statement is also incredibly important when applying because I genuinely determines if you get in or not based on the reasons why you want to go to TUJ. Also even if you do get rejected, they recommend taking a semester of community college courses so that your High school GPA basically gets wiped and you can use that first semester of your college GPA to apply to TUJ. I hope this helps even a little bit! I have already graduated last year so I’m not too sure how much has changed!
@@itsumokyameron9525 It did help. I'm grateful for your concern. Thanks 😊.
@@itsumokyameron9525 Excuse me! I have a few question!
Q1 If I take 15 credits in the summer semester and fall semester for 4 years then what about the spring semester? Is it a vacation or is it mandatory to attend classes? (The student visa will be on TUJ)
Q2 All courses are available each semester?
Q3 I can't send my class 12 transcript to TUJ through Parchment because I did my class 12th by government open school so even after requesting they won't respond. I do have the original marksheet and migration certificate. I can't courier because I can't get my open school envelope and all.. so can I send them my transcript on their mail id by converting it into a pdf? Please Reply.
Q4 Will Truecopy service work for TUJ? Because Truecopy can get my transcripts but other services like Parchment don't have my institute name.
I really appreciate you doing this video it helped me a lot during my research❤❤,
i actually plan on going to tuj for my bachelor degree but i have a few questions first , the ONLY thing i am good at is studying and being always at the top of my class, therefore, i didn't do any extracurricular throughout my whole life, i didn't volunteer, i didn't join any clubs, i dont do anything i just study , also the school that i go to does not provide any clubs for me to join, and i didn't win any awards so far just 2 certificats for being at the top of my class ,soooo will this affect my ability to get a scholarship or get accepted to tuj????😢😢😢
Also how much does the merit scholarship cover i would really love to know😢😢.
I only know that TUJ is getting alot harder to get accepted to since i created this video. It was a lot easier 3 years ago so I am not sure how competitive it is. I think mostly they accept you based on GPA first and then also try to make sure you have other attributes that you can contribute to the student body. also im not sure how much the merit scholarship covers but it's on the website
I just went through the application but do I need to send my transcript immediately after sending the application or do I need to wait until TUJ responds.
Hi my name is Mark, I really want to study in temple university japan! But the thing is that my high school gpa is low. I been working to get my money up for college but I don't know how to raise my GPA. Please let me know how to improve thank you!

I wanna ask you do you have time to do the part-time? Or did you see that Japanese people who was working? Is it hard to graduate the temple uni?
I used to have a part-time job but had to quit to focus only on school. I usually have friends that work at cafes and bars for part-time jobs or english teaching. Also I don't think it's hard to graduate from TUJ
@@itsumokyameron9525 I wanna travel around the world as a backpacker. Do you think I can do it while I am in the TUJ? Do you think there are some time to travel?
do you consider being accepted after their evaluation on you to be difficult? is it hard to get accepted? i do extra curriculars and have been japanese culture all my life and idk what i can do for my senior year to help improve my chances of getting accepted.
I don't really think that getting accepted was difficult. I think with extra curricular activities or just volunteer work is enough to help you get accepted with the addition of a good GPA and academic standing.
@@itsumokyameron9525what could i do senior year to help improve my chances?
I currently go to college in California but I applied to transfer to TUJ for spring 2022! I’m praying that I get in I’ve been wanting to study in Japan for such a long time now. Also, since I’ve already done a year of college, does having those credits give me a better chance to get in?

@@youssef_loves_u You should send your unofficial transcript even though you’re not completely done with high school yet. They need to see what type of grades you were able to get while in high-school in order to determine if you’re a good fit. I applied to TUJ in the winter and gave them my unofficial transcript while I applied, then followed up with my official transcript when I graduated in the spring. You could probably go through parchment.com to order it or your schools registrar’s or academic advisor’s office. I hope I was able to help!

Good luck! you've got this! :) Also I don't think that mentioning anime is what will get you denied from getting into temple, but it's only if you talk about anime and that's it ! The admissions officer kindly told me that about a year ago
itsumo kyameron well I briefly mentioned it but what you said about introducing myself and talking about an aspect of the culture I like I could definitely incorporate into my personal statement :3

@@TheFlightVlogger_2025 hi, I think you have a high chance of getting accepted. TUJ is necessarily a difficult school to get into, the hardest part is staying in the school (most students have financial difficulties when trying to stay enrolled at TUJ)

If I want to study international business in TUJ, how much will it cost in total? Please let me know.
For the visa, can I apply to get my visa through TUJ before getting accepted? I need a visa through TUJ and the deadline is May 15th, and it's pretty close. My plan is to apply to TUJ after I get my transcripts which will be some time around May. Do you need to get your visa before you apply or after? I'm trying to transfer after one year of college. The only problem is the deadlines, and I want to go attend this upcoming fall, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to make the application deadline. Also is TUJ affordable?
You only get the visa application after you're accepted because if you aren't accepted, then you can't apply yet. Also you can check TUJ's tuition and fees at this link. www.tuj.ac.jp/ug/cost-financial-aid/tuition
@@itsumokyameron9525 The website says may 15 for those seeking visa through TUJ, and those not seeking student visa through tuj july 1st. Would I have to submit my application before may 15 since I don’t have a visa?
@@lilgras8636 yes probably!
@@itsumokyameron9525 Are the deadlines different for college transfer students? Becasue it's different for TU. Just wondering
@@lilgras8636 not sure! but you should send your question to ac@tuj.temple.edu to find out more
Hey:) May I know how long did you wait to get the acceptance letter after you submit the materials and etc?
I think when I sent in my final documents it was around November 2017 and then I got my acceptance letter in January 2018. So I think it was around 3 months!
What kinda grades do you think would realistically get someone accepted into TUJ? Or maybe SAT or ACT scores?
In order to get accepted to tuj, I believe you need at least a 2.5- 4.0+ GPA. As for SAT scores, I'm not entirely sure. I got a pretty low SAT score so I'm pretty sure if you get 1000+ on the SAT and 21 on the ACT you should be pretty comfortable on getting accepted to TUJ.
At 6:26 would Highschool teachers and counselors work for letters of recommendation? And would I send those October 15 the year before every year?
yes!
I’m currently in the military and I’m looking to apply to temple university. Is the process the same for military folks?
I believe it's the same process!
I have two questions
1I want to do the computer science program and it’s saying I do 2 years in Tokyo and than 2 years back on the USA campus. Does this have to happen? Can I choose to stay the full 4 years in Tokyo? ( hope you can answer because I haven’t got an answer back from the school)
2. Did you put your SAT scores in the application or not. I’m seeing it is optional but I really want to be accepted.
1. yes it's required or that's at least what i know
2. i sent my SAT scores in but my scores weren't great at all
@@itsumokyameron9525Aww if they sending me back to the US after 2 years then I'd rather pick a different university. I want to complete my full 4 year BA degree in Japan.

I have applied to get into TJ about four times now first starting Spring 2019 Fall 2019, Spring 2020, and Was just recently denied as a commenting on this video for summer 2020. At my current University in the US. I have a 3.1 GPA. and I was told to at least get a 2.75 gpa from the last time I applied. I am very certain that I did in fact meet this requirement, but I was waitlisted and they still denied me. Anything I should try before applying again?
I am wondering how long it took for you to receive admissions results after submitting application. I have received the email about changing my address if I need to. Does that mean I will find it soon?
I can't remember entirely but i believe I submitted my application in late October and got my acceptance letter in Nov/Dec. I think your results will arrive soon!
have questions if I study in japanese language school and I got n2 level so is it compulsory to give EJU or entrence exams to get admission into vocational school in Japan?
If you are trying to apply for temple, you don't need any Japanese language requirements since it's an American university. You would most likely need the Japanese Language Proficiency Test for Japanese Universities. sorry, I don't have much information on this topic since I am only going to Temple University.
When you apply for the Tuj awards scholarship do you have to keep up applying every year because there is a matriculation fee you have to pay every year to get to the next year
The matriculation fee is a one time payment and you only have to pay for it your first semester at TUJ. Also you do have to keep applying for the TUJ scholarship if you want to pay less in tuition.
Do you think they look at college transcripts more for transfer students because my college gpa is a 3.4 but my high school was a 2.2
of course! i only talked about high school transcript specifically because most of my subscribers are in highschool or just graduated highschool . but yes college transcripts are needed if you are transferring
itsumo kyameron thanks for the reply. Especially so quickly
@@cashmere442 you're welcome!
I'm having so much trouble sending my transcripts. It seems like the list of websites they provided don't work anymore or are only for high school transcripts. Did you experience the same? Any info would be greatly appreciated ^-^
Hey! So I actually applied for tuj while I was in high school, so I never really needed to use diploma sender. But, I believe you can always still mail/ email to send your transcripts even if those websites don't work. I apologize for the lack of info, but I hope this helps
So i submitted my application and transcript for only a semester in the summer ;-; I see tht a student vise from the school was over last month but without is April .
Should I apply without since in most staying for more than 3 months ?
I think if you are coming to Japan as a student even for less than 90 days, you still need to come on a student visa. It'll be easier for you to enter Japan as a student than a tourist at the moment.
Im from Philippines do i need to take all the test for English proficiency test or just pick one? And since im not a native english speaker do i still need to take sat or act?
I'm pretty sure you just pick one like Toefl or duolingo test. Also you do not need to send in your sat or act since it's optional
@@itsumokyameron9525 oh okay thank u so much ❤️
Hello! How it goes?
Does getting into the normal temple university, mean you’ll automatically be accepted to the Japanese campus or do you need to apply seperate? Does it increase your chances?
Nope! they are two separate colleges technically!
Is it possible to get financial aid if you are a U.S citizen, but don’t live in America?
I think so! but im not entirely sure. I think you just need someone who has filed their taxes in america to sign for you (parent or guardian)
When are you guys planning to attend Temple University? What major are you considering? Also, what sparked your interest in the Japanese language and culture?
I decided to go when I realized I was about the GPA requirements. My major would probably Anime History. My minor would probably be otaku studies. I was interested in Japan after watching my first Loli Hentai. SUGOI!

@Amina Karina oh my goodness! i'm so sorry I usually respond earlier but I didn't see your comment! Also i'm not entirely sure but I think there are IB diploma students attending temple. I may have to ask around! But I would definitely ask newstudent@tuj.temple.edu for a better answer!
@Amina Karina So I was originally a business major but I decided to change my major this summer semester because I realized that I disliked math. So now, I am a Japanese major. Also yes you do register for your classes during orientation week and the academic advising counsellors should help you out with that during the first two weeks of your time at temple. Also thank you so much! i put a lot of effort in this video because I really wanted to help students like myself that had questions about the application process and being admitted and such.
Once you do the online application and they email you shortly after, will they go over what to do next in their email? I know you go over it in this video! But like when they get back to you will they verify to me what to do next?
Yes you should receive an email after and once you're accepted, tuj should give you the next steps. It takes TUJ a while to get back to applying students though.
@@itsumokyameron9525 Thanks! Did you apply to TUJ straight out of high school? Also, would you say getting into TUJ with a 3.3 gpa hard? I ask because I too currently have a 3.3 as a Junior, so did you have any big extra curriculars that stood out or anything like that?
@@thatsydney Yes I applied to TUJ Straight from high school or around the middle of my senior year. I had a 3.2 gpa and also my SAT scores were pretty bad so I think you should be able to get in pretty easy!
You need to have 3000000Y before payments like tuition fee/dormitory, right? :')
yes that is true!
@@itsumokyameron9525Oh my god, that's good news!! Thank you.
Is it really possible to have as much as 3,000,000¥ in your account at such a young age? Maybe the problem is in my country but it will not be possible to get that amount of money even if I save my entire salary for two years 😵😵
@@blacksuit7952 most students take out loans or get government financial aid/ scholarships. I definitely could not afford it but this tuition is so normal for us americans :(
Hey so when you say my GPA does that mean my high school or college cause I graduated like 4yrs ago
I grad from high school 4yrs ago
I would say you would need to provide your college GPA if you are transferring to or applying for an undergraduate or graduate degree at Temple university. If you took a break straight from out of high school and you didn't go to college, then I believe you would still have to provide your high school transcript. I hope this helped!
Anyone else planning for Fall 2023?
Did you get in ?
Is it okay if I don't take the SAT? Do you think they still accept me?
They recently changed the regulations. If you are a native english speaker the SAT and ACT scores are optional now!
IF u see this when would you recommend starting to prepare for this
Hi! So I actually started preparing for this my junior year of high school so that I would have enough time to get the documents in for the deadlines. But I would say do it as soon as you can.
question is temple university very expensive in tuition? Do I have to pay 30,000+ for tuition?
It depends on what you consider as expensive. I personally think it is expensive. But it gets cheaper after your first year because of financial aid and grants, however without that I would not think tuition was cheap
Cost is number one for me, are you really paying 105,000 dollars for the school and dormitory.
Yeah unfortunately... but the even sadder part is that it's still cheaper than most colleges in America but you get to experience Japan while going to college.
itsumo kyameron do you know if they accept MEXT Scholarships ?
@@Makish1ma From my knowledge,
I do not believe they do accept the MEXT scholarship.This is where I found all of the external scholarship information --->(www.tuj.ac.jp/ug/cost-financial-aid/scholarships/external.html) also you can ask temple with the email newstudent@tuj.temple.edu
sorry, i hope this helps...
itsumo kyameron thank you for taking the time
What do I do if I've already talked about anime in my PAPER and sent it.
Just don't
Lol
Hello. I am planning to apply for Spring 2021 at TUJ and my GPA is currently a 2.9 but Im in summer classes now and hoping to bump it up. Do hou think I could still have a chance in being accepted? I have dreamed of this for years and hope to get in.
It also says if you have a certain amount of college credits that an act or sat score wouldnt be required.
@@patricemason6009 I think you would have a good chance at getting accepted! However, since i'm only a student, I cannot guarantee 100% whether or not you will get accepted. I think having a strong application, high gpa, and college credits will strengthen your chance of being accepted.
Alright! So, Am I able to apply for the college and on July 1st I can apply for the visa? Or do I have to wait until July 1st to apply for both?
I am working on my personal statement now, but if you have any more advice on what to write, that would be helpful!
Should I mention that I have been self studying Japanese and that I had visited Japan to get more into the culture?
Btw I graduate with my associates degree in December
@@patricemason6009 I believe you're supposed to apply for the college first and then apply for the visa, because you have to be accepted first before they can process your visa application. Also I believe mentioning that you've been studying Japanese and visited japan before helps your application because I think tuj is trying to look for students who are planning on staying in Japan. Also if you have any sort of specific things about Japanese culture that you like, such as traditional art, or tea ceremonies, I think mentioning anything like that would strengthen your application, as long as you have a good connection with Japan and certain cultural aspects that you find yourself interested in.
Can you use common app instead of the TUJ application?
I don't know if they accept common app but the TUJ application is fairly easy and does not take up much time. I would ask temple because i'm only just a student ac@tuj.temple.edu
can people from England who go to college not A levels get in? I plan to do college instead but want to go to this university and cant find any information online about students that arent from America
I am not sure about A levels but recently TUJ has made SAT and ACT's optional for the application but you should check the website!
or even better email tujinfo@tuj.temple.edu
@@itsumokyameron9525 thankyou!!
i got rejected today for fall 2021 can i apply again for winter and get accepeted??
How many times have you applied already?
@@itsumokyameron9525 once. They told me to apply again once u gey my 12th grade transcripts
@@kokolofo1318 Ah i'm sorry! at least once you get your transcripts you'll most likely get accepted!
I’m on the wait list of temple university japan. How hard is it to get off of the wait list?
Honestly i'm not sure. There wasn't a wait list when i got accepted in 2018 since it was a small school
Hey can I apply to Tuj with ged? The website says it accepts but what are there actual students who got in with Ged?
Yes, you can apply to TUJ with a GED. I honestly do not know any students that have been accepted with a GED however.
Are you an exchange student or is there just another temple uni in Japan?😗
There's 3 campuses ! Philly, Rome, and Japan. They are all from the same university but are different branches.
@@itsumokyameron9525 so your not an exchange? So I could go there without having to graduate in the states?☹️
@@Kami.art06 so i'm not technically an exchange student because i'm doing my whole college degree at temple university in Japan so there's no other school to technically "exchange" with! You can go here without having to graduate from a college in america.
@@itsumokyameron9525 thank you! I was arguing with my brother because I told him that you were in an exchange student and you’re doing your full college years in Japan and he was like but “that’s Temple University, it’s only in America’’
@@Kami.art06 LOL i feel you! but no you are correct! there are actually two american colleges here in Japan! temple is one of them!
What the heck I just sat on toilet and this is my first video 😂😂
Lol! I knew everyone would watch my videos on the toilet!
I decided to join tju but I need help seriously ......first off what is credit? Like credit per hour or whatever please explain
sorry I just saw your message. The credit that I believe I talk about is credit for applying for a loan. In order to receive a loan, you need credit so that they can verify you being credit worthy. I was 17-18 at the time of my application process, so I did not have credit or a credit card whatsoever. I needed someone with credit and a bank account to apply for a loan.
Owwh ...so that ain't helping me either
Hey, I’m in osaka japan. Curious to where your at.
I'm in the Kawasaki area
itsumo kyameron Kawasaki, oh okay. Seriously keep it up with them videos. Living out in japan is definitely not easy so I understand the struggles . I’ve been thinking about making videos out here as well so some day I’ll get around to it . I have another friend who makes a ton a videos also and he is very smart cool guy. I’ll send his UA-cam page okay. The more people you know in japan The better right 🤗 I’m currently self employed in construction and odd jobs here and there but I haven’t gotten around to the Tokyo area. My wife is Japanese and I have a 17 year old daughter and a 13 year old son so yeah, I’m 45 years young .

itsumo kyameron ua-cam.com/users/TheInimical. My Chanel that I need to work on.
Omg I live in Miami if that could make my life a little easier
Most likely because your Japanese embassy in Florida is closer to Miami !
This may be a dumb question but is there a ‘starting’ semester for Japan colleges? For example in the us, typically the starting semester for HS and college is in august/September (fall)
So you can actually join the college at anytime before the semseter starts. For example, you can join in spring but the deadline to apply will be in fall. If you want to join in fall the deadline to apply will be in summer. So you can join either spring, fall, or summer semesters. I hope this makes sense.
@@itsumokyameron9525 thanks for answering! :) and sorry to bother but I had one more question. In your video, and I heard, that you need SAT and ACT scores, but on the website it says it’s “optional”, so I’m a bit confused. Is it a requirement or optional?
@@jazroNA I believe if you're american you need SAT or ACT scores but if you are from another country, the equivalent test would be okay. I think they accept TOEFL and I cannot remember the other test.
thank youu for this video i needed this but i wanna ask something i literally have a 2.5 gpa actually 2.56 will it affect on my application? is it hard for me to get in now?
of course ! and i really have no idea if a 2.56 will affect how you get in. Since this video is quite old and TUJ was a pretty small university at the time, it was pretty easy for me to get in. I do believe that you just need to at least have a 2.5 GPA to apply though
Can nepali student apply in TUJ
yes!
what about A levels
What are A levels?
@@itsumokyameron9525 they are basically the uk curriculum used around the world an alternative to SAT tuj says they accept them
@@azka.uzumaki7210 I don't know because recently TUJ has made SAT and ACT's optional for the application but you should check the website!
@@itsumokyameron9525 aah ok thankyou
Hello Kyameron, that's really helpful! may I have your email? that I could talk with you about this. Thanks!
why yes of course! my email is
HOW MUCH IS THE TUITION I WILL FOLLOW YOU PLEASE 🥺🥺
It's around $8,000 a semester!
Fuck dorms I’m living with my grandma so much cheaper lol
it's probably a better idea but i would suggest if you want to get the raw college experience then it would be better to live in the dorms. It's an easy way to make friends that are attending temple.
