[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our application was in online at 8:04 for a first grade slot.  Now I'm wondering about our chances if we don't get a lottery spot.

I'm sorry to say they are not good.  Next year's first grade is the jumbo class.  I've heard they're not accepting new students, they're hoping that attrition (families do move, especially the kind of international families that choose Yu Ying) will bring that class down to the size of the other classes, over time.  I've also heard that if you get a child into a different grade, that they'll squeeze you in because of sibling preference.

I'm not swearing on this, just sharing the gossip.[/quote]

I asked them a question about keeping the size of the jumbo class and was told that they would...they would not lower the number. There were no slots for the lottery but eventually accepted 4 off the wait list. My thought was that funding is associated with the class size and they don't want to lose that count.[/quote]
