Arwen chose to be mortal, so as far as I can tell from what I've read, she'd get the same status as all other Men with regard to the afterlife. So she would be reunited with Aragorn again. Her fate is sad because in choosing to be mortal she was also divided from her parents, brothers and all other Elves "beyond the end of the world." So she would get to be with Aragorn, but not with Elrond, Celebrian etc. Of course, if she chosen to remain immortal, she would not have been with Aragorn even in the afterlife, so either way she was in a cleft stick, the same as Luthien.
