PEAK (UTokyo)?

College Search & Selection

<p>Have you guys checked out PEAK at the University of Tokyo? Basically they're classes taught COMPLETELY in English. I'm kind of interested, but since the program is so new, I'm worried. Would a degree from UTokyo PEAK be impressive if I were to come back to America? I have a realistic chance of getting into some top colleges in America, and but PEAK is another nice option. </p>

<p>So I'm currently a public high school student in America. I am half-Japanese but fluent. Notable stats:
3.95 UW
4.67 W
Valedictorian
2190 SAT
33 ACT
Varsity Sport Captain
SGA Vice-President
Over 150 volunteer hours</p>

<p>However, you may have better luck understanding your Japanese instructors in Japanese than in their English.</p>

<p>Also, do you plan to be in Asia or the US after graduation?</p>

<p>@PurpleTitan I am fluent, but I dont know if I’m University Level Fluent lol. I’ve lived in America all my life, so I was planning to live in the US, but the PEAK program makes me think about Asia. Anyways, thanks for answering!</p>

<p>It looks like an interesting program. U.of Tokyo has a fantastic reputation, although I’ve read that Japanese universities are a lot easier than US universities once you’ve gotten in…</p>
