What does short-list status mean?
Short-list status means that an applicant has been accepted into the JET Program pending placement with a particular Contracting Organization (school or government organization) in Japan. If a short-list applicant becomes debilitated or otherwise unable to perform his or her duties as a JET, he or she may not be placed in Japan; in effect, he or she would be disqualified from participating in that years JET Program. However, in many cases, the affected JET applicant would be able to re-apply for the next year of the JET Program without resubmitting all the required documents.
