Nope, it's not apples to oranges.  All language charters self select. [b] Don't you have to get in line at the crack of dawn to even be eligible for a spot at Yu Ying?[/b]  That hasn't been how one gets a lottery spot at Oyster for more than a decade.  Plus, Oyster has to take all comers who live IB, and the school has to compete for Spanish speaking families like any other immersion school.  [/quote]

No, this is incorrect. YuYing has a lottery just like every other school. Anyone who is a resident of the city can enter. If your number is one of the first drawn, you can take an available spot. As for the camping out for a number, those folks are actually camping out to get a spot on the WAITING LIST. They are betting that lottery winners will give up their spot. Then when it's time to go to the wait list, the folks who waited on line will be ready to go. [/quote]

So, in order to secure a WAITLIST spot I will have to get in line before the sun rises?  Wow, if that isn't the very definition of self selection, I don't know what qualifies.  Admission to Oyster sounds like a cakewalk compared to Yu Ying.  Thank goodness I have zero interest in Mandarin.[/quote]
