Your chances are higher if a) you live in the Greens, b) you have a sibling already in the school + c) English is your child's first language. That is what I was told by the School. They charge 500aed to register your child for the waitlist, but then another 500AED to do the 20 minute assessment in groups of 4 or so. It's the only school I know of to charge another 500AED to assess. You may stand a chance because lots of parents put their child's name down for several schools, and with Regents reputation (whether earned or unfair I can't say) which isn't the best there's a chance that a lot of those names on the waitlist are just using Regents as a back up just incase? They have I think 7 FS2 classes, so if you don't get a place this year you could ask them to role your registration on to next. But you have to let them know this.
You should ask how many people are on that waitlist and then you should have some idea on how to hedge your bets. If there is less than 10 on the list I would add my name but if there is say 20 then a whole class would have to drop out before you would get a look in.
