[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems to me, if people were showing up at 4am to do this, they're taking the spot.  Not sure I would expect as much movement on the list.  There is going to be a lot less of the "Wait, Yu Ying is where?" element...[/quote]

It's not the people at the top of the WL who will say no, it's the ones who applied to YY along with 15 or 20 other schools just to get in somewhere.  They got the luck of the draw, but don't really care about Chinese and once they get in somewhere closer to home or whatever they'll give up their spots.  Those people at the top of the WL [i]seriously[/i] want in, second only to parents of younger sibs.  My prediction (based on past experience since the school opened) is that at least the top 20 for PreK will get in.  It's a great school (we love it!) but Chinese isn't everyone's cup of tea.  A lot of people apply just because it's on the "hot school" list and there's nothing to lose in playing the lottery for all of them.  Once they've sorted their options and thought about the extra effort YY entails, they'll send their regrets.  [/quote]
