Woooow, I am so tired I...forgot I existed or something. It's been hectic for awhile, to say the least. Things with the conference papers went well, just had to write up a summary of events, but was tired enough that I forgot to put it in past tense. Wtf

They recommend one academic professor and one person who knows you well - I think a Japanese professor who knows you well would be good as they can vouch for your enthusiasm for Japan, but if there's another teacher/professor you feel closer to or feel that they can give a better idea of your academic/personal character, go with them. Alternatively, you can do one Japanese professor and one other professor.

I did my history professor and my Japanese professor. I think you only need two, but I get this feeling that I also asked my major/academic advisor since I worked with him as a teacher's aid, and he's also the one who trained me as a language teacher.

ALTHOUGH MY BIGGEST RECOMMENDATION: if they have a JET presentation at your campus, GO TO IT. You can get to know the person who is in charge of your application block and ask them specific questions that they can give official answers for as well. I went to pretty much every presentation JET put on at my college so I could keep up to date on their policies and see who I might be competing against in future years.

If you ever have anymore, feel free to ask? My knowledge is a bit old now, but I don't think the process has changed much. I do know they've added April arrivals now for those who graduate off-season or something though.

...there is only one complete sentence in that entire comment. ilu♥

BUT yes, even if you aren't sure, it's best to get all the information, yeah? The JET website has a lot of good tips and stuff on it, and even if the app isn't on there right now, you can sort of see what stuff you'll need ahead of time at least.
