Experience Sharing on Applying to Waseda University 🌟

As someone who successfully received an undergraduate offer from Waseda University, I've compiled some tips for applying to Waseda. I hope this can help those who are preparing to apply. 🍃🌸 My Background🧩 I chose the EJU track, as I am a non-Japanese high school graduate. I applied to Waseda as a humanities student while studying full-time in China. My test scores: TOEFL 107, Japanese N1. Waseda's Japanese requirement is N1 for humanities and N2/N1 for science and engineering. For EJU Japanese: It's recommended to score 300+/400 (with writing ≥50 points). For English: TOEFL ≥90 or IELTS ≥6.5. It's advisable to take TOEFL, as Japan generally prefers it (though TOEFL is undergoing changes...). 🍃🌸 There's an internal test you need to prepare for in advance. Humanities students will have a short essay, and practicing in advance really pays off. Science and engineering students will take a Waseda-administered test. 💡I've written a timeline for the June 2026 enrollment as a reference: June/November 2025: EJU July-September 2025: Online application opens October-November 2025: Written test/interview December 2025-January 2026: Wait for admission results April 2026: Enrollment ‼️Application Materials Checklist 🍃🌸 1⃣️Required materials: Graduation certificate authenticated by CHSI + translation, stamped high school transcript + translation, language scores, EJU transcript, statement of purpose, 1-2 letters of recommendation. 2⃣️Optional materials: 🍃🌸 SAT/ACT/IB scores, award certificates/activity proofs. #UndergraduateStudyAbroad #WasedaUniversity
