Well, in my experience, many (most?) alternates end up going. In fact, I've known quite a few JETs who were selected as alternates at first and ended up going, and I've only ever met 1 person who was chosen as an alternate and didn't go. Some year (1998, for example) every single alternate ends up going.

So if you're rejected, go ahead and find some other way. If you're an alternate, don't give up hope, you still have a decent chance of going...
