The first is the report card.
As the focus of hardware audit, everyone's report card is the material that must be presented, which will directly affect everyone's first round of audit, and you must ensure that you have a relatively good report card to pass smoothly. Of course, the requirements at different stages will be different.
Moreover, the different rankings of the target schools will directly affect everyone's preparation, but I believe that it is definitely urgent to go abroad, so everyone should try to improve their usual test scores as much as possible, and their later efforts will also be effective.
Second, the notarial certificate
The official certificates you get, especially academic certificates, will only be recognized by the school after notarization, so you must first ensure that you can pass the graduation exam, get the official academic certification, and confirm your qualifications.
Then everyone needs to accept the notarization, and they need to go to the notary office for review with their identity certificates. Specific materials include graduation certificate and degree certificate. If you haven't graduated, you can prepare a pre-graduation certificate first.
Third, letters of recommendation
As others' evaluation of the applicant, it is far more important than everyone's understanding of this material. From references to relationships, to the specific content of the document, it will be carefully reviewed. The higher the status, the more helpful it is to everyone's application, and it will also help everyone improve their competitiveness. Of course, the content needs to be true.
Fourth, language proof.
It is essential to apply for a certificate of Japanese certification at school. You need to take a standard exam to get a certificate. You can choose the N2 exam first, then sprint the N 1 exam after passing it, or you can choose the JTSET exam, all of which are recognized.
It is also necessary to prepare English. If you can get good grades in IELTS or TOEFL, you will be more competitive.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) passport
Don't forget your passport. It's proof of your identity when you go abroad. You need to apply for this certificate yourself at the Immigration Bureau of the police station, and just bring your ID card. After filling out the form, the staff will review it and you will get the complete certificate soon.

First, video interview
At present, Skype is generally used in international interviews, which has the characteristics of high speed, no delay and clear picture. It is the interview method that most schools will choose, so that students don't need to go to Japan for on-site interview in a hurry, which can save time and money.
Before the interview, everyone must try to debug the equipment to ensure that it can be used normally and skillfully, and choose a good environment, try to be in a quiet and comfortable room with a clean background and prepare for their appearance.
During the interview, everyone should keep in good condition, listen carefully to the questions asked by the interviewer and answer them, so as to ensure that their situation can be easily understood and problems can be raised in time.
Second, on-site interview
Of course, face-to-face interviews can better reflect students' formal degree and psychological quality, and they will prefer to adopt these two methods, and can also distinguish domestic on-site interviews from Japanese on-site interviews.
In order to avoid students going back and forth between the two countries, many schools set up interview points in China. After making an appointment, students go directly to the interview shop for interview and review, and there will be special staff to receive the review, which is not low in efficiency.
However, schools without interview points in China need students to buy their own air tickets to take the formal exams in Japan. The advantage is that they can visit the school during the interview, get familiar with the surrounding environment, and determine the accommodation by the way.
Third, telephone interview
You can also interview by phone, which is actually good for everyone. It will not cause embarrassment and discomfort when facing strangers, and it can also extend the preparation time on the pretext of poor call conditions.
However, it is still necessary to make preparations in the early stage, and you can keep the information at hand. In case you forget the key information at once, you can also go through it directly, and there will be no ice.
