Online Seminar on Comprehensive Selection and Recommendation-Based Admission for High School Students

Upcoming Online Seminar for High School Students

Are you a high school senior uncertain about how to prepare for university entrance exams? Kawai Juku invites students and their parents to an informative online seminar titled "Comprehensive Selection and Recommendation-Based Admission: Key Points and First Steps for Application Preparation", scheduled for May 17, 2026.

With the increasing diversity in entrance examinations, it's crucial for students to grasp the nuances of the comprehensive and recommendation-based selections, which now account for approximately 25% of national/public university admissions and more than 60% of private university admissions. This seminar promises to highlight essential points from the entrance exam requirements released by various universities starting in June.

Why Should You Attend?

Given the significant variation in the selection criteria among universities and faculties, navigating the application process independently can be daunting. Our expert lecturer Mayumi Watanabe, an experienced instructor specializing in comprehensive and recommendation-based admissions, will elucidate what you truly need to focus on. With her extensive background in guiding over 500 students, she will share invaluable tips tailored for students aiming at their desired universities.

The seminar will also introduce participants to Kawai Juku’s Comprehensive and Recommendation-Based Admission Strategy Program, showcasing the instructional content and tools that prepare students effectively.
