Loox Shijuku, specializing in Comprehensive Selection, Launches 'Exam Re-challenge Discount' for Graduates

Loox Shijuku is implementing the "Exam Re-challenge Discount," which waives the full enrollment fee (33,000 yen including tax) for graduates aiming for admission in the 2026 academic year. Through Comprehensive Selection (AO Admission), we support students in re-challenging their dream schools that they couldn't reach through general entrance exams.

【Highlights of this Press Release】

• A campaign offering a full waiver of the enrollment fee (33,000 yen including tax) for graduates aiming for admission in the 2027 academic year.

• Against the backdrop of increasingly difficult general entrance exams, we encourage graduates to enter Comprehensive Selection (AO Admission), which is advantageous for them.

• Providing a unique curriculum based on a proven track record of admissions to prestigious universities such as Keio University, Waseda University, and Kansai University/Kwansei Gakuin University/Doshisha University/Ritsumeikan University (Kankandoritsu).

■ Background of Implementation

In recent years, due to the increasing difficulty of the Common University Entrance Examination and stricter enrollment capacities at private universities, the competition ratio for general entrance exams tends to remain high. As a result, a certain number of applicants, despite having sufficient academic ability and motivation, have been unable to gain admission to their first-choice universities.

In light of this situation, Loox Shijuku has decided to implement a special campaign for graduates, the "Exam Re-challenge Discount," to support their re-challenge to their dream schools through Comprehensive Selection (AO Admission).

■ Campaign Overview

Eligible Participants High school 3rd-year students who will become graduates from April 2026, and those currently studying for exams as graduates.

Benefit Details Full waiver of the enrollment fee (normally 33,000 yen including tax).

Application Deadline Those who complete a free consultation by April 30, 2026, and complete enrollment procedures by May 10, 2025.

Notes Submission of enrollment documents is mandatory.

■ Reasons Why Comprehensive Selection (AO Admission) is Suitable for Graduates

① Possibility of Admission to Universities Unreachable by General Entrance Exams

Comprehensive Selection (AO Admission) is an admission method that comprehensively evaluates not only academic achievement scores but also reasons for application, future vision, extracurricular activity achievements, and more. By taking appropriate preparation and measures, challenging universities that were difficult to enter through general entrance exams becomes realistic. In fact, at our cram school, there is a case where a student with a GPA of 2.7 was admitted to Keio University.

② Structural Advantage of Securing Preparation Time

What is considered important in Comprehensive Selection (AO Admission) is "clarifying one's goals and accumulating concrete activity achievements towards their realization." Graduates, who have more time than current high school students, are structurally in an advantageous position in this regard and can be said to have high compatibility with this selection method.

■ Main Universities and Faculties Where Admission is Possible (Examples)

Keio University, Waseda University, Meiji University, Aoyama Gakuin University, Hosei University, Kansai University, Kwansei Gakuin University, Doshisha University, Ritsumeikan University, and others.

* May not be offered by all faculties/departments. Many other universities are also available for application besides those listed above.
