Hello , Not entirely sure if this is the right place to ask this. But I had a few questions. I’ve taken 3 years of Japanese at an American high school. I estimate that at the end of this current year, I’ll be speaking Japanese at roughly an N-4 level. Well, I hadn’t looked at this before, My japanese teacher is currently recommending that I Look into attending a Japanese University. I hadn’t considered this before as I never figured my grades would be good enough to do so. I have a 3.7 weighted GPA and a 28 Act, 1180 SAT. I’m fairly sure that I want to major in Mechanical engineering and my dream would be to work for the racing divisions of one of the major japanese automakers such as Toyota or Mazda.
I’ve been looking into a few universities such as Ritsumeikan and Doshida. In fact I’m currently sitting in a College fair run by lighthouse with several universities.
The only issue is I’ve been unable to find a conclusive answer online to several things.
I’ve heard that these universities will take any foreign students with money and a pulse, as well as that they are very selective. Not sure which is true.
Another thing I’ve heard is these universities aren’t great and you’d have a hard time getting a job.
I was wondering what y’alls opinion on this would be as well as any other recommendations for schools
