[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a long time YY parent I am really sad to see the lies---yep, saying it---lies-- about preferential admission. They are scrupulous about being honest in the lottery and the wait list and I would caution everyone on this list to understand that the "dude we spoke to the VP" poster was a fraud. #1, the VP has no admission power, and #2, the school has turned down rich, mandarin-speaking chinese who offered tens of thousands to get in because they refuse to violate the lottery process. They have also turned in families who violated residency who could have made a big donor-difference to the school. And those folks were furious. Remember, you have no idea who is posting what/posing as whom on this listserv. And it would behoove everyone to question the motivations of the most virulent critics. [/quote]

Please, I've been around long enough to know that it happens.  The administrators at charters have "soft" admission power once the computer has established a wait list.  The YY principal has been know to tell the parents of Mandarin-speaking children that she'll "be in touch."  If you don't believe that YY plucks off the wait list like almost every other charter, your prerogative but I'm taking it all with a grain of salt (or maybe a bag of salt).  The advantage of anonymous posting is that the truth is more likely to surface than on MOTH or wherever.
