I think unlike many of the other schools, MV, lamb...that offer immersion, you can't half-ass YY.  You really need to put in the effort.  I think those parents that apply really want the school for their kids.

I agree. Those that apply, want the school. Want it bad. [/quote]

Not sure I agree.  I applied online and despite the problems with the site got my kid's application in successfully at about 8.05am for K.  I think that may give us a good timestamp.  But we are half-assed about it.  My husband is adamant that he doesn't want our kid to learn Chinese.  And, though I'm definitely interested, it's not actually in my top 5 list of dream schools.[/quote]

Just curious - why does your husband now what your kid to learn Chinese?  If that is the case, why apply?  That's not half-assed, that's a complete rejection of the school since it's Chinese immersion.[/quote]

There will probably not be any spots for K; if there is one or two, they will probably go to siblings of newly admitted PK-ers. So the point may be moot. (I agree with PPs that most, obviously not all, applicants to YY are applying because they are set on Chinese, keen on immersion, or eager to snag a spot at any Tier 1 charter and therefore likely to accept the spot.)[/quote]
