I know “when will I hear the results” is an over asked question, but the official JET website has 2 dates: “Announcement of Results” in March and “Notification of Placement” in May.
[Our Application & Departure Process – JET Program USA](https://jetprogramusa.org/application-departure/)
Is there any description of what the difference is between these two?

I’m assuming Results are if you are in the program. Placement means those people who got accepted have to wait until May to know where they are placed.
Announcement of Results means interview results (did you get into the program or not). Notification of Placement comes later and is when you find out where you’re being sent in Japan.
Announcement of results is whether you’ve been rejected, shortlisted or accepted.
Placement is where you’re going providing you weren’t rejected.
