Chances of getting off the waitlist for Yu Ming
Hi, I just found out the lottery result for yuming. We are #120 on the wait list. Do any parents know from past experience what are the chances of getting off the waitlist. I feel my chances is very very slim but I still have hope.

I don't know if the number of classes is same as last year, but we were waitlisted in the 70s and didn't get in. Good luck.
When we applied 5 years ago, we were #12 on the waitlist and didn't get in. So I think your chance is slim to none. Better have a back up plan.
For the person in the 70s on the waitlist and #12 on the waitlist, was this for Kindergarten or 1st grade? I know of someone who got in at the start of the school year who was in the 30s on the waitlist. My impression from talking to Yu Ming staff is that you still have a chance of getting in with a waitlist number in the two digits but it'll likely be during the school year. Even in March, the school was accepting individuals off the waitlist. Good luck!
I recently checked my son waitlist position, he is now in the 70's. Was in the 100's when the result was out. Still hopeful in getting off the waitlist. In regards to the person that mention, they are still accepting student in March. Wouldn't the student be behind if start in March?
Answering another commenter regarding #12 on waitlist. We were applying for kindergarten as a non mandarin speaker.
