Hello.
I am thinking of applying for my child to take the Kinder exam this fall.
I was wondering if anyone knows how many people have taken the Punahou and Iolani Kinder exams in the last few years?
I understand that the Kinder exam is the most difficult.If you are taking the Middle exam, there is a test and a score bar, so I think it is fair and people who are not at that level may not take the exam. Please let me know. This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I see from ABC's link that Punahou has an advantage in higher education. We have seen the list of schools in Punahou first, so we appreciate the comparison. Thank you for sharing this information.
We took the middle entrance exam and were accepted to Punahou waitpool Iolani and paid the deposit to Iolani, but luckily we received a call from Punahou waitpool yesterday. It was also a factor in my decision to go with Punahou. Thank you very much. I had heard that Punahou has more affluent families.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Wow ! Iolani has zero ⁇ from Harvard, Princeton, MIT, and Stanford !
I thought there were a few Iolani who went to MIT every year.
I thought there were a few people going to MIT every year in Iolani.UC schools like UCLA and UC Berkeley are not as common as in Punahou, but UC San Diego, Davis and Irvine are more common.
My son is studying for the middle school entrance exam, and Tutor told me that the SSAT passing line for middle school is also 10% higher than Punahou.
Iolani is also good for Kinder because it's easy to get in, but if you look at their graduation record, … it's not as good as Punahou.
Punahou is still a good choice.
Thanks for letting us know the latest status of Iolani.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

My daughter graduated from Iolani. Naturally I was a fan of Iolani.
After hearing your opinions, I looked into it in detail. I can conclude that Punahou and Iolani are the best choice for Punahou.
Looking at the situation in Kinder today, it will not change in the next ten years. No, it is likely that the difference will be even greater.
Conversely, if you cannot pass Punahou, Iolani is the only choice.
Even though we are taking the Kinder exam, in the end we want to get them into a good college.
In the U.S., college entrance exams are based on school grades, teacher recommendation letters, essays, interviews, etc.
I applied to 11 schools, 3 were memorial exams ?
2 were stop-losses, and as a result, I received acceptance letters from 7 schools.
I failed the 3 schools that the school said I couldn't go to. The one school I didn't want to go to even if I was accepted was also a no-go.
I passed all the other schools that I thought I might be able to get into.
I have the impression that Iorani's support for university entrance exams was very good.
I was told that it was impossible, but it was still impossible.
The problem was just beginning: tuition and living expenses.
There are merit-based and need-based scholarships.
Families who go to Punahou or Iolani are unlikely to have need-based.
Every college has given me merit-based scholarships. But 1 . 50,000 ~ 2 . $50,000.
Education : about $70,000, living expenses : about $20,000, I can't do very well.
State universities have lower tuition, but if you are not a US citizen, you will not get preferential treatment in California.
I know there are many people whose only option is UH for these reasons.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I will write some more to add.
If you want to go to college in the Mainland, you need at least $70,000/year.
This also goes up every year.
If this is not financially feasible for you, you should not choose Punahou or Iolani in the first place ?
There are 12796 students at UH. That's about 3200 students/year.
There are about 50 people in total who go to UH from Punahou and Iolani.
Mid-pack and others combined would not be 100 people.
In other words, an estimated 3,100 are enrolled from Public.
I think there is an option to go to UH while getting top grades at Public instead of choosing Punahou or Iolani from the start.
This would save about $400,000 over 12 years.
If you are accepted to the college you apply to, you will be notified of the cost and the scholarship you will receive after the acceptance letter.
I thought I would get a few scholarships even on a need-based basis.
In fact, it was merit-based only.
In the end, I had the painful experience of convincing my daughter, who was accepted, that it was financially impossible.
The good thing about going to Iolani is that I got accepted to a lot of good colleges even though I couldn't go, and I made a lot of good friends.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Indeed, a certain number of students from Punahou and Iolani go to UH each year.
Many then transfer to prestigious universities or go to prestigious graduate schools.
I don't have data, but my sense is that Punahou and Iolani graduates are far more likely to do so than Public graduates.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

MPC application, I used it last year to enter the country. I am a green card holder and my son is a citizen, but we were able to use it.
You can register your family together. It was summer vacation, but the MPC lane was very fast and very empty, so I recommend it.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Below is the updated information.
= = Who can use MPC = =
US citizens
US permanent residents
Canadian citizens with US B1/B2 visa
Those traveling for the second or later time with ESTA authorization
( Therefore, green card holders were also okay ! (happy ) )
= = Examples of available airports = =
John ・ F ・ Kennedy International ( JFK ) , Los Angeles International ( LAX ) , San Francisco International ( SFO ) , Daniel ・ K ・ Inouye International ( HNL ), Chicago ・ O'Hare International ( ORD ), Seattle ・ Tacoma International ( SEA ), Harry ・ Reed International Airport ( LAS ) etc

Yes ! Green card holders can also use it.
I was ready to use it and installed it, but the wifi at EWR was unstable and I could not use it. Canadian citizens, US citizens, and permanent residents were in the same line, so it took almost no time at all.
On a side note, when I told immigration that I had been to Morocco, they asked me if I had ridden a camel ?. ( Bomb )
By the way, when I pick you up at LAX, I wait in the parking lot of the nearby Carl's Jr. and when I get my luggage, I get a call and head curbside.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Good idea.
Still, last time ( I returned to LAX last May ) everything was full of private cars, including curbside, and the Flyaway Bus from SFV took extra time before stopping in front of me. But thanks to that bus, I didn't have to be picked up privately, and I was able to get back to the Van Nuys terminal without a hitch.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

I used to look forward to watching Fuji Television's Japanese-language newscasts in the morning, but the broadcast has come to an end. As I get older, Japanese TV is pleasant to my ears, regardless of the quality of the content. If anyone knows of a way to watch Japanese language news in the U.S., please let me know!

In my case, I only connect to a VPN when I want to watch TVer or Japanese Amapura, and disconnect it when I'm done.
The trick is to choose a VPN from the list that has a speed of 100Mbps or more, and to choose a VPN that does not have "public" at the beginning. Also, sometimes the connection is lost in the middle, so you have to reconnect to another VPN. Well, anyway, it's free, so I'm willing to overlook a few inconveniences.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

I tried to make a duplicate of my car's FOB key, but the dealer's estimate was too much … I was wondering what to do, and then I got information that I could buy a third-party FOB key and have it made at a locksmith in town.
However, I could not find a good locksmith, and I was wondering what to do with it, and finally found one.
FOB duplication program and key cutting ( internal groove type = laser cutting ) and it was $ 120.
A place called keymastersla.com. There was no travel fee. I will share the information.
The car is a 2022 Toyota push start system.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I've been there myself. I finally found a small locksmith shop on Lomita Street in Torrence after many searches. It is a very friendly store and I highly recommend it.
The car is a 2010 LEXUS RX450H
I bought the FOB key on eBay beforehand and had it programmed at the small locksmith shop.
As an experience, the first key I bought was defective and unusable ( Locksmith no charge ) The second key I bought was programmed but did not open the hatchback but I still use it.
without key cut $ it was about 120. Dealer prices are certainly high.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Nice to meet you. I am the mother of a high school freshman living in Japan.
My 15-year-old son is pursuing his dream of becoming a professional football player and will be attending the Nike Football Camp at Stonehill College from July 26-30 by himself.
I finished arranging his airline ticket, but due to strict age restrictions in the U.S., the hotel where he was scheduled to stay for two nights ( July 25 and July 30 before and after his flight ) refused to allow him to check in alone at age 15. We were also refused an extension of the camp dormitory, and we are not allowed to accompany our parents.
So, this is a very impolite request, but we are looking for a kind Japanese person living near Boston who would be willing to let us stay at his/her home for a total of two nights (July 25th and July 30th) for a fee ( even sleeping together ). We will, of course, pay for your stay, actual expenses, gratuities, etc.
My son is very polite and stoic, devoted to sports. We are looking for someone who can help us.
