You only sent that letter? It is supposed that Compulsory Document 4 is written by a professor. I got shorlisted this year. I have good grades (8.74/10). I also did voluntary work, (not abroad). I think I got selected because my motivation letter and the recomendation letter were , (in my opinion),...

Let me tell you my story. Last year I had (a) pretty good grades and (b) international experience (including volunteer work abroad). Results: I got short-listed. This year *in addition to* the above I had (a) work experience (internship), (b) participated (worked) in a Google-funded mentionable pro...

Congratulations to all short-listed people!
Those of you who posted that you got short-listed today, did you receive the mail today or yesterday?
If you did receive it today there's still hope.

Don't worry about this e-mail. Last year I only got an e-mail on late February, stating that I was shortlisted. They never sent me anything about receiving my application.

I wonder if we are "allowed" to write company's name in our answer to question G in case we have declared a preference.

Could you explain this a bit more detailed please?

Hey there! I'm in the same situation as you @Ilias95, I was thinking of contacting them in case we don't receive that e-mail but I guess we'll get it tomorrow or thursday tops, I'm sure they are working on it I just found out that I have received their e-mail but it was in my spam folder. Check if ...

So you already have the e-mail with the list of actions to do next?
It's very weird because even though I'm also shortlisted I have no feedback from them, not even that they received my application or anything.

Thanks Rosie. I saw it already, I'm in!
Good luck everybody!

You should have received an acknowledgemet of receipt (E-Mail) for your application, after it arrived there. I know, but I still haven't received it. I supposed it was because I sent my application on 19th of January. But in fact I contacted other applicants that they sent their applications during...

Where can we see the shortlist?
I didn't receive an e-mail or something neither I can find it on their page.

Regarding your first question, you can find some numbers here: http://cdnsite.eu-japan.eu/sites/defaul ... 7_-faq.pdf

The Motivation Letter has to be signed?

Actually I also have a question regarding this. They say that they want it either by courier or normal post but they do not accept "registered mail". What I understand is that they don't want to sign for the receipt of the folder. But on the other hand I think that all couriers ask for a s...

I contacted them by e-mail and they told me that they didn't receive it so I'm doing it again.
Thanks!

Hello Boladel. This was an e-mail or it was displayed on the webpage after the submission?

Hello everybody. I just completed and submitted the online form, but after hitting the "Submit" button I didn't get any feedback. Just the form reloaded erasing all my data. I also haven't received any confirmation e-mail that the form successfully submitted. Is this normal or I am suppose...
