Yes you wait. We apply as a foundation. The sooner your project starts identifying project opportunities and discussing it on the lists the sooner potential students can start to engage with you. No need to wait for formal acceptance of the org, but don't make any promises to anyone. There isn't a restriction on incubator projects, but the evaluation criteria tend to make it more difficult for early satage incubator projects to get students. That said, if there is genuine and healthy community support of GSoC there are no real barriers.
