Dealing with the wait

Hey guys, I am a aspiring JET applicant who has been alternate listed as a part of the 2025 Irish cohort. I was wondering if there are others in my position, or perhaps previous/current Irish JETs that I can confide in for maybe some hope in a pretty hopeless situation, it has been the longest few months of my life just to be told I could potentially be waiting 5 more, and I want to know has anyone else been in this situation? What do you reckon the chances are for an alternate candidate, as in the average upgrades, if anyone has any figures or ideas it would give me some hope and be a world of help. Thank you.
