I’m floored that the waitlists for grades 2-5 (with language skills required) are so long.  I wrote to ask how long the wait lists were and got a generic answer that there were over 1000 applications, most for K.  But that seems like a bit of an understatement if the lists for the upper grades are so substantial.[/quote]

The slides presented at info meetings said last year,  1163 students applied and 565 of those for a Kindergarten slot. So about half of the applicants seem to be for upper grades.[/quote]

Huh.  Aren’t there ~300 total slots for K?  Maybe my luck is worse than I thought!  That would suggest possibly more than half of applicants get a spot for K.  Actually even more than that when you consider declines and waitlist movement….[/quote]

It's about 264 spots (24 person classes, 4 classes of french, 5 of Spanish, 2 of Chinese). I wonder if the increase in dual immersion has made the lottery less competitive.[/quote]
