I have DD listed at 3 schools for September 2011 KG2. of which only one seems promising -only because i applied in 2009 and kept rolling onto the next year.The other two run into scores on the waiting list. Is it really that hard to get in? What if someone new comes into the country lets say in July. Do they have to compromise on schooling and settle for whatever is available? one school has a waiting list 4 years ahead for KG2!! Does that mean we have to enroll our kid before he/she is even born! This sounds ridiculous and unreal! Has anyone had an easier time with admissions?

Yes, for places in the 'top' schools we enrolled the children soon after birth. For those coming into the country, if they are on a good package with a large company then they should be ok, as certain companies retain debentures/seat rental fees in these schools to ensure 'their' children get the places.
