Studying at Waseda or Sophia University

I'm interested in studying in Sophia or Waseda University in Japan (not as an exchange student, but as an actual student attending there).

GPA last year: 3.01 (It dropped due to family issues that will be mentioned, my mother was diagnosed 4th stage cancer and I was the one who had to take care of her, so it significantly lowered me first term grades. Otherwise, I'm an honor roll student).

SAT: 1690
IELTS: 8.5/9

Math is not my strength point, but I am not planning to major in that field anyway.
I have experiences on abroad programs for more than 7 years, including in Japan. So I have a pretty diverse range of activities and awards to support my back when it comes to applying (including extracurricular activities).

Thank you, and would love to hear more information about:

1) Acceptance rate (I heard 21% in Sophia, but that is not including the International Students)

2) Chances of my getting accepted based on the information provided above (If possible)

3) Just to double-check, Waseda and Sophia do provide English courses, right? (I know Sophia does, but still want to double check on Waseda).

Thank you!

I just got past the documentary screening phase for Waseda University's School of International Liberal Studies (all their classes are in English). That means I've got about an 88% chance of being accepted.

Here were my scores:

GPA: 3.1
SAT: 2180

Which semester are you applying for?
