Kyoto University is ranked 2nd in Japan and Osaka University is ranked 4th in Japan. Today's talk is not about rankings but about the application process for both universities.
If you want to apply for these two universities, whether you apply for graduate school or a monk's direct examination, you need to pass the pre-examination of [AOO] and [Gantry Window], and those that do not meet the requirements will be directly brushed off. This will reduce the workload of professors and improve the efficiency of application. It's just that the form of application, from direct contact with professors to submission through the window, the other parts are no different. The same need for a professor's response, follow-up materials are not much different.
Kyoto University 【AOO】
Significance of the establishment of the Admissions Assistance Office (hereinafter referred to as "AAO"):
It is to facilitate the application procedures for all applicants who have graduated from universities in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, and who are interested in applying for graduate or master's programs and doctoral programs at Kyoto University, and to provide equal opportunities for all applicants.
【AOO Acceptance Target】
Students who have graduated (or are about to graduate) from universities in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, and are interested in applying for a graduate or master's program, doctoral program at Kyoto University (including students who have graduated from Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, And Taiwan and then studied in other countries including Japan).
【Application Process】
【Application Materials】
note:
985/211 or Students of The Beijing University Friendship School have a great advantage when applying, and if the ordinary undergraduate students have outstanding language skills and excellent research proposals, they basically pass the [AOO] review, and the possible 99% of them get Naino. In addition, the TOEFL score is very advantageous in the [AOO] review.
Osaka University【Gantry Window】
If you wish to apply for a graduate or master's/doctoral program at Osaka University, in most cases you will need to receive a commitment from your supervisor (Note), and the Gantry Window will assist the applicant in making the initial contact with your supervisor. Through the gantry window, the applicant's information can be more correctly and effectively transmitted to the tutor, making the application smoother.
(Note) Individual graduate schools and institutes do not require prior commitment from the supervisor, which does not require application through the gantry window.
The Gantry Window verifies the applicant's necessary documents and submits them to the tutor. After the tutor confirms the application materials sent from the gantry window, he determines whether to further consider receiving them. Licensed applicants can contact the tutor directly.
【Target】
Applicants who have graduated or are about to graduate from a university in Chinese mainland and intend to apply for a graduate or master's program or doctoral program at Osaka University. (Applicants with study abroad experience are also available.) ）
The steps to apply this way can be a bit cumbersome, with the benefit that you will receive a response regardless of whether you pass the review or not. If you do not pass the review, you will apply to other schools immediately, and do not delay the application of other schools.
Prior Review System for Other Schools
Prior review means that professors do not have the right to admit. If you want to apply for a graduate or master's program or doctoral program at a certain school, you should prepare the application materials according to the requirements of the collection issued by the school and submit them to the school within the specified time. A council composed of professors from faculties and departments conducts an assessment, and those who pass the examination can be admitted or take the on-campus examination. Sometimes depending on your situation, other professors will be assigned as mentors rather than professors of your choice. Prior censorship is generally more common in liberal arts and business majors, and most of the science and engineering classes are professors.
