Hi, I still waiting for an answer about placement number 5 (Mitsui Chemicals Inc) or for my second option placement 18.2 (Mitsubishi Corporation). There is anyone who is waiting for them like me? ^o)
That would be me :))

No answer yet..
Hope it will come soon -even a negative one. My mood changes every hour or so and I can`t focus on my project.

Well, I am a little bit disapointed, I was expecting much more activity here :D .

Apparently an Italian guy on facebook (one more) received a positive answer.

what confuses me is 3.1 and 3.2 have still no news. we've heard all of the 7.x rejections but no 3.x rejections, i'm hoping that, because 3.1 and 3.2 are a separate part of the firm, they haven't been decided yet. we will see. nothing yesterday or today ( so far)

It could be that Sanyo just accepts two or three applicants, but list their possible projects as multiple ref. no's, instead of, like some put in a note: "1-2 students accepted, project will be based on student profile". When they have accepted the students they want then rejection notes can be sent to the applicants on the other numbers.

3.1-2, 3.5-6 and 3.8-9 might have been filled but the selected people are not present on the forum or Facebook, or Hitachi may be waiting for a possible second round or even cancelled the positions. We will know soon enough.

The fact that I have not heard anything about the company I applied to as my "first choice" yet is somewhat soothing. As far as I can deduct from here and Facebook, there is a possibility that my second choice hasn't been filled either, so I'm fairly calm (that is actually not a lie ;) ).

Well, Japan has been past closing hours for a while now so unless Belgian processing of some answers for today are still underway, we will have to sit back and wait for next week (again :P )

As I said in a previous post somewhere: Maybe some of the HR-people responsible for some of the placements took the whole week off since they could get 11 days vacation by just taking three days leave. Next week will probably be a little busier in Japan, so lets just hope for the best and take it easy till then.

Btw, I still don't understand the system of the selections. Logically, the centre should send negative answers if the position of the participant is taken, however it seems like the centre sends negative answer after the company denial of the participant. Who knows how it works actually?

Thus far, no words from anywhere so I guess you are right.
Every day when its past closing hours in Japan the hope wanes a little and at five (CET) it eclipses totally for that day...
About one more hour and then I suppose we might have to wait till next week (does anyone know the status of Friday, holidaywise, in Belgium?).

How come you are so certain this week will be so calm?

Anyway, this weekend we are halfway through May now so the pessimistic view on it is that we who have not been contacted yet probably can start looking for other employments, but keep a loophole for the improbable as we did sign up for a waiting period through May 31st.
I am not trying to kill hopes, but as I also have applied before, I know that the later a response comes, the higher the probability is for it to be a "No".

As far as I/we know by now, we still have not heard at all from:
(I will be using example ref. numbers to not break any rules from the centre or creating any "privacy concerns" issues, due to which names etc. have been censored earlier)

Engineering
· (2) 1-2 positions
· (4) 1 pos.
· (5) 1 pos.
· (8) 1-3 pos. (might have been filled as interviews were conducted this week)
· (17) 1-2 pos. (have been filled, at least one position)
· (18) 1-3 pos.
· (19) 1 pos.
· (20-24) 4 pos. (if all positions are filled)
· (25) 4 pos.

Architects
No words of anyone accepted as far as I know.

So in total there might still be somewhere between ca 10 and 20 more engineering/science acceptances left to be handed out... plus a few for designers/architects (~6)
How many of these have actually been handed out to people not on either FB or the forum can only be guessed, but maybe despair can be postponed for a week or so ;)

So I got too impatient with a total lack of any answer whatsoever, and sent an email to Margherita asking if she can tell me what causes such a delay, and whether she knows when we will be notified of results of our applications. And in response I got an automatic reply stating that Margherita is out of office till 17th of May.
I don't know since when is that the case, but if she was out for the whole week and some of the late companies sent their answers to her mailbox, we are not likely to hear anything until the beginning of next week :|
