Salam, I had gone to Japan to attend a conference on Oct. 2007, meanwhile I had the chance to go to Tokyo Univ. and talk to a Prof. relevant to my studies. I am a B.Sc. Eng. student and talked to him to join him as an M.Sc student. He accepted to be my supervisor and has given his acceptance letter to the admission office, but there is also a restrict Graduate committee of the department which is checking oder applications as well. The problem is that I have a low GPA of 14.62 but two papers and I wanted to see is the OK of the Prof. enough for my final admission or the grduate committee in Japanese Univ. has greater deciding power and can reject me for the low GPA due to the huge amount of applicants? I would b really pleased if anyone could give me some info about this ???
