JET Program 2018 placements have begun coming out in various (mostly east coast) consulates. Unfortunately, I am a west coast JET and likely will have to wait several more days. From what I have observed, notifications of any kind tend to arrive last to the west coast - SF and LA consulates in particular. I have no idea why this is the case but it might be due to the larger size and greater number of applicants to the SF and LA consulates vs others. Additionally, being an upgraded JET, I might be facing even longer wait time to finalize my placement.
I was really hoping to receive notification before May 18th as that is the date of my long awaited graduation(!) and I was hoping to be able to finally announce to my family and friends where I'm going to be spending the next 1-5 years of my life. Oh well, I'm frankly just grateful that I've made it this far. No matter where I am placed I will make the absolute best of it and have an amazing time!
