I want to be a foreign exchange student in japan and enroll in a high school there after I have graduated high school, before college. I have talked to a CIEE representative and they said that it is possible for me to enroll in a japanese high school in japan. I am wondering if this would affect my chances at getting in a college to be a pharmacist. I am only a freshman now, but I really want to go to japan. The culture fascinates me, and I have seen videos and blogs of foreign exchange students in japan. I am taking japanese language classes. I would like to go to japan for a semester, and experience the culture there. I just reallly want to experience the culture and be in a high school there because i think i will be able to get more out of it if I am in a high school there. I would be 18 when I arrive and return. Can you please recommend how I should go about this? It doesn't have to really do with my future job .. but I just really want to go to japan as a high school student in my gap year. And please some tips for the interview? Thanks in advance!! I've always wanted to go to Japan, and be experience the culture, and to strengthen my Japanese.

Try Youth For Understanding. I did it that way, it was pretty cool. I'm not sure if it's going to affect your chances of going on to study pharmacology, but I can't see how it can hurt if you just go for one term. http://www.yfu.org/ Interview tips? Just be positive, try to show your best side, like any other interview really. You sound like you're into things Japanese already, so show your knowledge. Maybe try to think of one special thing that's going to make you stand out from the ordinary applicant too. Just one warning though... once you get the Japan bug, it's hard to give it up ; )
