2026 Medical School Individual Entrance Consultation Event to be Held

On July 26, 2026, the Tokyo International Forum is set to host the Medical School Individual Entrance Consultation Event 2026, organized by TOMAS, a subsidiary of the Riso Education Group. This event aims to connect aspiring medical students and their parents with admissions representatives from 25 universities across Japan, including notable institutions like Nagoya City University, Defense Medical University, and Juntendo University.

Backdrop: High Competition in Medical School Admissions

The competition for medical school admissions remains fierce. Although the number of applicants for national and public universities saw a decline of about 5% compared to last year, private universities experienced an increase of approximately 1%. As a result, the ratio of successful applicants to total applicants is still alarmingly high, with a rate of 4.12 for national universities and 16.8 for private institutions. This continuing pressure highlights the need for students to stay informed and develop strategies based on the latest admissions information.

Given that the transition to a new curriculum will affect the content and trends in entrance exams, staying updated will be crucial for students aiming for success.
