[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course, the funny thing is that it will now become accepted practice that you have to show up early at YY to get a good waitlist number, [b]so people who don't really care about Mandarin will do it just to make sure they have a spot somewhere. [/b] Of course many of those people will find spots elsewhere and wind up not going to YY, so having a low waitlist number will be less important.

But the main entry yr, preK, is only in Mandarin.   Not the school for people/families who "don't really care about Mandarin"... Ultimately, families who aren't interested or become interested in Mandarin will be unhappy (see thread about international trip for 5th graders).[/quote]

Yes, I agree, but people will line up thinking that they might not get in at Two Rivers or wherever their real preference is, and that they would take Mandarin at a good school over nothing.  So the top of the wait list will be crowded with these overachievers who really don't want to go to YY, along with the folks who really do of course.[/quote]
