i don't think you can, now if it's a study abroad program than possibly yes, but i'm pretty sure you need to get your degree in the U.S. for it to actually count(in the us). If your in a college now, you should ask them they might be able to give you a better answer. this is odd but you and i spell our names the exact same way.....i've never met any one who spells their name the same way as me!....isn't it a tragedy we can't buy coffee mugs with our names on it...

Public high school in Japan (Tokyo)

Public high school in Japan (Tokyo)?
How do they work? Do you take an entrance exam? Do you have a credit score like in Canada? (in Canada: you need 42 -I think- to graduate high school, what ever classes you take means you get a number of credits -AP math you get 4 credits, normal math 2 credits) Can you pick and choose what you want to take? (Ex: Take Canadian History, or Geography) When does the school year start? (April, I think) When is summer break? Are there any other breaks? If so, how long are they? Lot of questions, I know lol xD I'm not going to be going to school in Japan, I'm just wornding how the school systems work aha xD

Public schools require students to take exams for 4 subjects or more. It depends on the school system. Plus an interview. Or essay and interview. It's much more difficult to enter a public school than private. By the way, they are talking about making tuition fees for public schools free of charge. I'm not sure if this law is already in place, but there are rumors about it. We don't have a credit system here. But I believe you have to have good attendance, and the average of all your subjects must be 4 or 5. They grade here by 1-5, 1 being the worst and 5 the best. 4 or 5 means you have to have 4 or 5 in your grade sheet and no 1,2 or maybe 3 too. Subjects: English, Math, Japanese, Either; Science, History or Social Studies. School starts at April. We have summer breaks from the end of july until the 1st week of September. Most schools give out homeworks. In my school they did that until the second yr. We were allowed to have lesser homeworks on the 3rd yr so we can study for college entrance exams. Other breaks are winter and spring breaks. They are shorter than summer breaks. Mostly from 2 weeks.

>Do you take an entrance exam? Everyone must take an entrance exam if you want to join a high school. But some kids go to a high school without an exam if they had very good grade at junior high school. >Do you have a credit score like in Canada? (in Canada: you need 42 -I think- to graduate high school, what ever classes you take means you get a number of credits -AP math you get 4 credits, normal math 2 credits) No. Only colleges have it in Japan. >Can you pick and choose what you want to take? (Ex: Take Canadian History, or Geography) Much of subjects are compulsory in Japanese high schools. There is little room to choose. But we can choose some of them. >When does the school year start? (April, I think) April. >When is summer break? It's usually between mid-July and the end of August. >Are there any other breaks? If so, how long are they? We have 2 weeks as winter and spring break.

I want to go to college in Japan to be a doctor, Does anyone know of any medical schools in Japan

I want to go to college in Japan to be a doctor, Does anyone know of any medical schools in Japan?
I really want to go to college in Japan. I was going to just study abroad but I want to spend my whole time in college in Japan. Does anyone know of any colleges in Japan that do accept students from the US and actually have a student body with at least 5% coming from countries other then Japan??? I want I college that actually has classes in English, like an international college. Japan has to have at least one or two colleges because I know you can study abroad in most countries and have classes in English.

You must speak Japanese. Do be a doctor, you need to finish medical university and pass national exams. The class and exam are held in Japanese. You can enter the university in Japan, but you need to probe your Japanese proficiency (by JLPT or other test certification) as well. And the academic system in the world varies. US takes degree adding system, But Japan is different. The study in Japanese colleges are more comprehensive than professional. One comprehensive degree for 4 -6 years. I think you better finish college in your country.

The place to research your question is currently down at the moment or I would have tried to answer your question for you. Here's the link: http://imed.ecfmg.org/ Japan is limiting the number of matriculates to its medical schools, so it isn't that they're racist, but more an issue of economy.

Is bullying a known problem for schools in Japan

Is bullying a known problem for schools in Japan?
or is bullying a rare thing? does some of the things in dramas like "Nobuta wo Produce" and "LIFE" really happen, frequently? or is this only for entertainment purpose of the movie or drama? I know it is just a movie, but this is what it's like in America, at least at my school. In Japan are some girls actually mean to where they knock people's lunch over, or trip them with their shoe, ostracized from the class, etc etc...?

Bullying is definitely a common problem in Japan. Ostracizing a girl from class is very plausible. Why bullying occurs is unknown. Why girls feel the need to bully another is what is unknown, but it is true that administration at schools don't do too much. If they were more aware of what was happening, I think people would try to stop it. Many times, it is the students who feel they can't talk to adults about the issues. Sometimes they think the bullying will persist further if they try to stop it. Such is the nature of bullying.

Sorry to say, it's very common.
3 :
To understand the nature of bullying, you have to understand that there is no clear border between "bullying" and "not bullying". Those cases you saw in dramas are clear bullying. But there are more lighter cases. And it's difficult to judge if it's really bullying. So it's difficult to tell you if it's really frequent or not. But it's known problem in Japan. >ostracized from the class, etc etc...? You said 3 examples. But out of those 3, this is clearly common.
