Anyone applying to any Japanese universities, specifically those offering the G30 programs? Better yet, is there anyone here who is currently studying in one of the universities?

I'm probably not going to study in Japan, but at one point I was really interested in Japanese universities, too, because I have a family friend in Yokohama. I'm still curious about Japanese universities so it would be nice if anybody could share more information about what the current situation is like for international students in Japan

Well, I know that WASEDA University established the School of International Liberal Studies recently (about 5~ years ago), and that they're offering scholarships to international students. They accept IB students. As far as I know, WASEDA University is quite famous/prestigious in Japan. In Japan there are no official university rankings, but according to various sources on the internet people consider it an 'A~B rank' university (sorry, couldn't find you an English page).

Sophia University is another B-rank university that offers English programs to IB students.

The American Temple University has a Japanese campus in Tokyo, but it's less prestigious/famous compared to WASEDA and Sophia. Of course, it offers English programs to IB students, too.

This is a late reply but I am studying in Nagoya University and I am in the G30 program. So if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
