Is it still possible? Comprehensive Selection Strategy Seminar for New 3rd-Year High School Students and Parents | STRIX Online Seminar Held for Free

"I haven't done anything yet, but is it still possible...?"

Consultations like this from parents of new 3rd-year high school students are rapidly increasing during this period.

To conclude, there are multiple students at STRIX alone who started in April and passed the comprehensive selection exams for difficult universities. However, there is a condition: "**preparing in the correct order**."

◼️ Many examinees stop at "just researching"

There's something many high school students do as preparation for comprehensive selection exams.

It's the process of "researching a topic of interest and presenting it."

However, universities do not evaluate only that.

Please look at the diagram above. What universities truly evaluate are the "02 Problem Setting" and "03 Idea Generation" parts.

Researching and ending, presenting and ending — many examinees' inquiries stop here.

What is required in university interviews is a discussion about "how I will solve the problem."

The difference between a presentation that ends with the interviewer saying, "Yes, I understand," and one that makes them lean forward and ask many questions — this difference **directly determines success or failure**.

◼️ High school teachers were surprised by a 2nd-year high school student who actually received guidance

In March 2026, a 2nd-year high school student who received guidance from STRIX gave a presentation at their high school.

The 8 high school teachers who observed it made comments like those on the slide above.

After the 10-minute presentation, there was a Q&A session, and many questions were asked by the high school teachers.

All STRIX students **answered the questions, providing evidence in their own words**.

◼️ Why do STRIX students change so much?

STRIX instructors are university faculty members, researchers, and corporate specialists.

The representative, Fukuzawa, has experience in over 80 comprehensive selection processes annually, and **designs what should be prepared in the shortest possible time from the perspective of the "evaluator."**

STRIX's track record of success over the past 6 years, including admissions to difficult universities such as the University of Tokyo, Keio University, Waseda University, Osaka University, and Kobe University, truly demonstrates the standard of their guidance.

◼️ Contents explained in the seminar

The core content of the paid courses will be **made public for free in this seminar**.

• The "order of preparation" that determines success or failure — why mere research is not evaluated

• The structure of a highly-rated statement of purpose — how to write what universities "want to read"

• How to develop a discussion in an interview — how to avoid ending with "Yes, I understand"

• Realistic schedule from April to application — reverse design for students starting now

• Preparation points for each desired faculty and university

◼️ Representative Profile

Atsuya Fukuzawa

Representative Director, STRIX Co., Ltd.

Principal, STRIX Comprehensive Selection Online Cram School

Born in Fukui Prefecture in 1993. After completing his master's degree at Hyogo University of Teacher Education, he taught at several universities and is currently enrolled in the doctoral program at Tokyo Gakugei University. He has received numerous awards for his research in education. In addition to being the Representative Director of STRIX Co., Ltd., he is also the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Ryusho Gakuen Educational Corporation, a specialized committee member of the Children and Families Agency Council, and is active in multiple areas of educational administration, research, and practice. In recent years, with "exit strategies for inquiry-based learning" as a central theme, he has been focusing on building an educational infrastructure that connects high school inquiry-based learning with comprehensive selection exams.

What STRIX aims for is not just a test preparation service.

It is to create an educational infrastructure where all high school students, regardless of region or school differences, can receive "seamless learning" that connects inquiry-based learning in high school with expert guidance, leading directly to comprehensive selection, university admission, and career formation. This is the fundamental idea behind STRIX.

Comprehensive selection is an entrance examination that tests the ability to formulate questions, confront problems, and articulate solutions using one's own mind. This ability does not disappear after the exam — it is a skill that is applicable in society and anywhere in the world.

Towards a future where all high school students receive the same quality of support, regardless of regional or school differences.

We welcome not only participation in this seminar but also inquiries from educational institutions and parents interested in STRIX's initiatives.
