To all those aiming to pass the Ritsumeikan University Faculty of Letters ________________________________________ ■ Relationship between Applicants and Difficulty of Acceptance The application-to-acceptance ratio is an important indicator of the difficulty of acceptance. As the ratio increases, competition intensifies, and the passing score (deviation value) rises. In other words, the quality of your exam strategy changes significantly depending on whether you can grasp the increase or decrease in the number of applicants compared to last year early on. ________________________________________ ■ Why "Preliminary Applicant Numbers" are Important When deciding between universities and faculties of similar levels, the deciding factor is the Preliminary Applicant Numbers announced by the university during the application period. If you don't understand the trends in the preliminary numbers, you may not notice that "the number of applicants suddenly increased just before the deadline, and the difficulty level rose," and you may find yourself in an unfavorable situation. ________________________________________ ■ However, last year's preliminary numbers are "no longer available" Only the final confirmed numbers of applicants remain on the university's website, and the preliminary numbers are deleted. They are not included in commercially available exam materials, so there is no way to know when the number of applicants increased last year. ________________________________________ ■ Therefore Record of "Preliminary Applicant Numbers" by announcement date We record the preliminary numbers announced by Ritsumeikan University (Faculty of Letters) in the previous year (2025), and you can check "how many applicants increased on which day." ・Initial numbers ・Growth in the middle period ・Sudden increase just before the deadline You can grasp these at a glance. ________________________________________ ■ The accuracy of your application strategy will change With this material, you can decipher "Will the number of applicants increase in the same way this year?" "Which faculties are risky?" This is a powerful decision-making tool at the time of "applying right before the exam." Please prepare it for yourself. ________________________________________ "Yu-Packet Post mini" for rapid shipping. A4 (B4) folded four times.
