慶應SFC 冬AO入試の特徴
慶應義塾大学総合政策学部・環境情報学部（SFC）は、日本で初めてAO入試を導入したということもあり、AO入試についてはかなり前向きに考えているようです夏秋AO、春AO、冬AOと年3回出願を受け付けています。
冬AO （グローバル）はその年の9月入学または翌年4月入学を希望する受験生を対象とする入試です。
これまでは海外高校出身者を対象としてきた同入試ですが、今回よりSATやTOEFLのスコアを提出すれば国内高校出身者も受験が可能となりました。
面接試験はなく、出願書類と面接の代わりとなる「3分間のプレゼンテーションビデオ」により選考が行われます。
選考：書類、およびビデオによる審査
出願書類は種類が多く、それぞれ作成に時間を要するため、計画的に作成していくことが望ましいです。
また、冬AO（グローバル）入試では面接試験はなく、出願書類と面接の代わりとなる「3分間のプレゼンテーションビデオ」により選考が行われます。
特に重要な書類
Ⅰ．「志望理由・入学後の学習計画・自己アピール(Personal Statement)」
出願書類の核となる書類がこの「志望理由・入学後の学習計画・自己アピール」です。
英語4,000字以内(約800word)の文章で表現する①「志望理由書(Essay)」と、A4またはレターサイズの用紙 2枚以内で自由に表現する②「自由記述(Presentation slides)」に分かれています。
Ⅱ．「活動報告(List of Achievements)」
自らがどの出願資格に該当するのかを自己評価するとともに、学業と学業外の活動内容（原則として中学卒業後のもの）について記入欄に従い入力します。
受賞歴や成果等を証明する書類は可能な限り「任意提出資料」として提出が求められています。
Ⅲ．「任意提出書類(Optional Materials)」
「活動報告」において記載した内容を証明・補足する資料のほか、大学入学後の目標や構想の実現につながる意欲や能力等を示すものがあれば資料として10点まで（サイズ制限あり）提出することができます。動画ファイルの提出も認められています。
Ⅳ．「志願者評価(Applicant Evaluation Forms)」
志願者を客観的に知る立場にある評価者2名にWeb上で入力してもらう必要があります。
質問が2問、それなりに分量があるため、評価者には時間の余裕をもって依頼をしておく必要があります。
事前に志望理由の内容などについて評価者に共有しておくことで作成がスムーズになります。
Ⅴ．「3分間のプレゼンテーションビデオ(Three-minute Presentation Video [in English])」
志望理由および入学後の学習計画・将来の目標等を内容とするビデオを作成し、アップロードします。
プレゼンの形式は口頭説明に限定しておらず、動画の長さは3分15秒以内、ビデオファイルは50メガバイト以下とされています。
志望理由と自己アピールを融合させた上で、今後の研究計画を伝えるように構成を練ると良いでしょう。

An Essential Guide to Keio GIGA Admission
[Note]
While we make every effort to provide the most up-to-date information, please refer to the faculty’s website, application booklets, and other relevant notifications for the latest updates.
The author and publisher disclaim any liability for any direct or indirect consequences related to the use of the information provided in this article.
What is Keio GIGA, and What Are the Benefits of the Program?
Keio University’s GIGA (Global Information and Governance Academic) Program, located at the Keio SFC Campus (Shonan Fujisawa Campus), offers an English degree program for students in either the Faculty of Policy Management or the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies.
This program places significant emphasis on interdisciplinary studies, and students can acquire essential perspectives needed to solve today’s complex and diverse problems.
GIGA courses and classes are conducted in English, and there are no prerequisites for Japanese language proficiency for students. The entire application process is also conducted in English.
Keio SFC is renowned for its excellence in multifaceted and interdisciplinary education in Japan, offering numerous advantages to its students and alumni.
[Note]
Applicants are required to choose which faculty to apply to (you can apply to only ONE of the faculties).
When Can I Apply for the Program?
Successful applicants may matriculate in either September or the following April, with the application period typically open from December to January. The admission office recommends that those without sufficient Japanese language proficiency select September as their matriculation period.
Applicants must complete the application online and send designated documents to the admission office by post.
[Note]
Depending on your location, sending documents by post may take a considerable amount of time. We highly recommend that applicants prepare their documents and materials well in advance to avoid the risk of missing the application deadline.
What Do I Need to Prepare for My Application? Is There an Interview or Written Test?
The application process requires several important documents and items, including:
List of Achievements: You should describe your past achievements (not limited to the academic field) and explain why they are essential. If you want to mention an award or a result of an event or competition, you need to upload proof in the “Optional Materials” section.
Personal Statement: You need to submit an essay (approximately 800 words) and presentation slides (up to two A4 letter-size pages). These should contain the following four components: “Statement of purpose” to explain why you are applying to GIGA, “Study plan at the university” to outline what you plan to focus on after enrollment, “Self-presentation” to clarify how you can contribute to SFC, and “Future plans” to describe your future dreams.
Three-minute Presentation Video in English: In this video, you are expected to demonstrate your reasons for applying to GIGA, your study plan, and your future goals.
Similar to Keio PEARL (the Faculty of Economics’ English degree program), there is no interview; the evaluation is solely based on the documents and items you submit.
What Do I Need to Be Cautious About?
The GIGA admission process pays close attention to identifying the problem(s) that need to be resolved, why they matter to you, and how you plan to realize your dream.
However, creating impressive and exceptional documents and materials is not an easy task. You need to convey:
Your passion for studying at GIGA.
What makes you a suitable candidate for the program.
How you intend to apply what you learn at GIGA in the future.
To achieve this, you should reflect on your past experiences, your current situation, and your vision for the future. However, this can be a complex task that may require external assistance.
It’s crucial to understand that, despite the absence of interviews or written tests, the application process is not easy. If your personal statements or presentation fail to impress the examiners, you won’t have another chance to compensate for a lack of effort.
What Can We Do for You?
We offer individually customized support sessions that include discussions with instructors. You will be assigned one university student and one “professional” instructor to assist you, and they will help craft documents and materials that are sure to impress the examiners.
We also host events to enhance your understanding of your chosen topic and facilitate networking with peers who can offer support.
Additionally, you can attend these support sessions and events online through a meeting app like Zoom, eliminating the need to travel to Shibuya.
