Keio SFC Spring AO Application

• It seems that there are cases where mistakes on the application form were pointed out by SFC and could be corrected thanks to sending it promptly.

  • So, it seems very unlikely to be able to submit it right before the deadline for the exam, so I want to do it properly.

For the 2020 Summer AO, 2020 Autumn AO, and 2021 Spring AO, We will publish the entrance examination recruitment guidelines in both Japanese and English. You can choose from three languages for the language used in the interview: Japanese, English, or both. The application method (A, B, C, IB) that was implemented until the AO entrance examination for the 2020 academic year will be abolished. Instead, we will start a system where the first-stage selection (document screening) is exempted if you achieve the specified grades in the designated contests and submit a document proving it at the time of application. For the 2020 Winter AO (Global), a) You can apply by submitting either SAT, ACT, IB, or GCE-A Level scores, and b) TOEFL or other English scores. With this change, the number of opportunities for domestic high school students to apply for the AO entrance examination will increase from 3 to 4. However, we plan to consider candidates from countries or regions where qualification exams cannot be taken, as before.

• ↑ Personally, this is sad because you can no longer apply for multiple categories.

  • Well, the number of opportunities is increasing, but since everyone can do it, it’s not an advantage anymore.

• Withdrawal is allowed.

• Unused exemption from the first-stage selection.

  • Can only be used once.

• It seems that it is necessary to make it the “first choice” for now.

  • Be careful during the interview.
