After chatting with Japanese friends, it seems that the average Japanese seems to have a lack of general understanding of top global universities (except the usual Harvard, Oxford, MIT, UCLA etc), which is understandable.
This got me wondering, what exactly is considered a ‘target school’ by Japanese people and top employers for domestic universities?
**From our conversation, it seems that the main target schools are:**
**UTokyo, UKyoto, Tokyo Tech, Hitotsubashi, Waseda, Keio**
Is my impression spot on? Did I miss out any schools?
