Hello. I (17F, turning 18 in December) want to move to Japan, go to uni and work/live there. I've started doing research, and I've contacted Koko Japan, who I hope will help me through the application process, since they seem more tailored to people from my region than Go Go Nihon & others, who have a more US/EU approach (from what I've seen & heard.)
I'm going to start by attending a language school; I've set my eyes on the Akamonkai University Prep Curriculum, since I only have 11 years of education. While their website has helped me better understand the documents me and my family have to gather to apply, I still don't really understand what documents we have to submit on each date. From what I understood, if I want to get in by April, everything has to be submitted by the end of October..? Correct me if I'm wrong please, as well as letting me know if it's preferable to submit everything before October.
Also, just wondering, can that specific language school ask for extra steps? Like an interview or extra documents that may be hard to gather in time? I'm anxious about that, I've never applied to anything this huge before. Now that I finally know what I want to do in my life, the last thing I want to do is screwing up at the last second.
Lastly, do spots run out fast? And will I be able to work part-time as well as getting through the program? Or will the workload burn me out fast? I'm very motivated, but I also don't want to tire myself out too quickly, and quitting will never be on the table.
Thanks in advance!!
