Can I still get into Econ 1?

<p>I'm considering Econ 1 for phase II, but it's mostly full:</p>

<p>Limit:700 Enrolled:675 Waitlist:65 Avail Seats:25</p>

<p>My phase II appointment will be Dec. 7. Anyone had experience whether Econ 1 is hard to get into? Do many people drop?</p>

<p>Take Econ 2 instead. Romer is statistically easier than Olney is anyways.</p>

Thanks for the advice, but I see from the catalog description that Econ 2 is for intended econ majors, while I'm an EECS major......
By the way, my schedule for next semester is already pretty full. Is Econ 2 more reading than Econ 1?</p>

<p>Econ 2 with Romer is a good suggestion. However, if you still want to do Econ 1, I think you should still be able to get in. I think pretty much anyone who wants to get into a ~700 person class will get in eventually, even if they signed up with a late phase 2.</p>

<p>yeah I think you'll get in. My friend and I are taking econ 1 this fall, and she was like number 100-something on the waiting list and she got in.</p>

<p>Thanks. It looks like I can get into Econ 1 if I want to.</p>

<p>For non-econ majors like me (EECS), is Econ 1 a better choice than Econ 2? I heard that Econ 2 is more in-depth but the competition is less fierce. Anyone knows whether that is true?</p>
