Anyway, out of curiosity, does anyone here know of anyone who got into the program prior to graduating from a university? I was just thinking about my situation. I won't be finished until either February or March of 2009. I'm pretty sure it'll be February, though. |

Yep, that's the plan. I also didn't realize how much discipline is needed for online courses. I'm supposed to be writing a short paper on Stereotypes right now. I haven't even started it yet since I keep procrastinating.
Oh yeah...question about this... Quote:

The biggest mistake people make is write about why the JET Program will be great for them. "I really want to see the world and become more worldly and this will help me become a better-rounded person." Wrong, wrong and wrong. Go with: "I have always enjoyed working with and being around children. With this opportunity I will be able to give children a chance to practice English with native speaker and give them insights as to what life is like in America (or Canada or where ever you are from)." Also, don't talk about how you plan to innovate or revolutionaize the teaching systems already in place. Go with "I look forward to working with and learning from my Japanese colleagues. Learning how to work with the unique group of students in each class will help me come up with lesson plans catered to meet their English needs as well as stimulate thier desire to learn." Stuff like that. |

Well, that's not really the problem. The problem is getting a second reference since when I apply, I will still technically be in an Undergraduate program, and according to the rules there, I have to get a reference from someone of my school. I'm doing my schooling online, and have no real contact with my instructors (as the school is in a whole other state), so how can I get an honest reference? I know that JET's application process is strict on rule following, and this is one I'm actually having a problem with.
