Hi! I have been gathering materials and working on everything I need for the application for JET USA as far back as July. I asked my letter of recommendation providers back in August.
Now, returning to the JET USA website, it seems to have been updated with a stipulation that I should not have asked for a letter that early, instead suggesting to wait until the Reference Letter Guidelines come out.
I feel like I have been misled. I did everything possible to prepare early, and while I intend to notify my recommenders of these guidelines, I'm worried that they will see me as irresponsible or hasty, when in fact I was trying to prepare. Any advice here? Am I losing my mind and the website has always been that way? I looked in the internet archive and it seemed to support my sanity, but still...
Many thanks for any responses!
