Sophia University FLA: any chance? 2016/11/28 08:27
Hi,
I am a female senior student (12th) in the IB program in Holland and I really want to study in Tokyo for Uni and my top choice is Sophia FLA.
I am predicted an IB score of 37 (very inflated XD) and my highest TOEFL score is 103. I am Japanese, but have been living abroad for 12 years.
I'm kind of freaking out because all my Japanese friends have higher predicted scores than me. Do I have any chance of being accepted?

Not sure how useful my information will be, but I'll just give my experience. I just got accepted to Sophia's FLA , starting April next year.

I'm half Japanese and half Malaysian ( Chinese ). Studied at Chinese schools, took a one year A-levels course this year to fulfil the 12-year education requirement. Got aab for AS in June ( a for Bio and Pure Maths, b for Chem. Also got a for General Paper ). I took the redesigned SAT in June and got 1510, plus IELTS at 8.0. Also got my N1 done in July.

Based on what I've seen so far from other people's score, I think you have a pretty good chance. Regardless, just apply for it. If you don't, you'll probably regret it, thinking whether you could've got in if you applied.

Hey!! I'm also applying to Sophia's FLA and I'm an IB student too! (Took IB in Japan). I got similar predicted grades as you, and I'm hoping my score and essay will be enough for me to get in :) Are you applying for the Apri admission, or the September admission?

Dear Elisan.

I wonder if you'll ever look at this thread again, but my results came out today. I was accepted!

Now I will call them to make sure by how many points they allow me to fail XD
Best of luck to you.

You lucky, during my course of IBM at the HES in Rotterdam I went to Kansai gaidai university. Sophia was just introduced and I already made my decision.
