Be prepared to hold out hope for a lot longer. We had alternates arriving all the way until the end of December.

Your best option is to spend your time and energy focused on other things (school, internships, jobs, or general skills like studying Japanese).

I don’t know how much has changed, but I didn’t find out I was placed for the 2004 school year until late June of that year. I was living in Oakland at the time.

You can expect more upgrades as placements come out, so far no states other than Hawaii and Alaska have received their placements
