Hey all, I'm a first year student at a small liberal arts university in Canada. I have Canadian, American and British citizenships if that helps with anything. I visited Tokyo once as a child and ever since I've always wanted to go back.
Out of the 6 Japanese universities that my university has deals with, I've narrowed it down to Waseda, Kansai Gaidai and Doshisha in order of preference. I'd really like to be in the biggest city possible which is why I put them in that order. The other available universities are Okoyama, Tokushima and Yamaguchi Prefectural, but these seem quite far from major cities. Does anyone have any experience with any of these as an english speaking study abroad student?
I'm studying arts administration/music, so my credit split is roughly 1/3 arts admin specific courses(I would most likely do these in Canada as they are quite specific), 1/3 business courses and 1/3 music courses (theory, history and performance). My high school grades were middling at best, but so far I've been getting better grades here. I'd estimate an average of 80%-85% for this semester based on how it's been going. What are my chances of getting in with grades like this? I know Waseda is quite selective.
Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks
