I'm a high school student from Mexico planning to apply for the MEXT Undergraduate Scholarship for the 2028 intake, through the Embassy Recommendation route.

I'm planning to study something related to Information Engineer in Japan.

I'm currently preparing for the application and would love to find other people who are also seriously considering applying, so we can help each other throughout the process.

I'd especially like to:

• Study together for the MEXT written exams (Math, Physics, Chemistry, English and Japanese)
• Share study resources, past exams and preparation strategies
• Keep track of application deadlines and important dates
• Practice interviews together
• Talk about Japanese language preparation
• Discuss university/major choices and the MEXT placement process
• Keep each other motivated and accountable
• Share our experiences and questions throughout the application process

I'm especially interested in meeting other high-school students applying for Undergraduate, although anyone applying for MEXT Undergraduate 2028 is welcome.

If you're also planning to apply for MEXT Undergraduate 2028, feel free to comment or DM me!

Hello, I'm a high school senior from Turkey and I'll applying to a university in Japan this year but I haven't been able to find much information on how universities evaluate the applicants to suggest them for the MEXT scholarship. Does anybody know what in particular universities look for in an applicant when they choose an applicant to suggest for the MEXT scholarship?
