<p>Hello everyone! I'm a new transfer student (junior) in the coming Fall semester.
I was accepted as a Poli Econ major, but I intend to declare Economics in my first semseter: taking Econ100A and Stat20.
During CalSo (first session), I successfully registered Stat20, and got waitlisted for Econ100A. The lecture looks "full" but I know that seats are reserved for "pre-Econ" transfer student with a additional course code to get into the class.
I just wonder whether I still have a good chance to get into Econ100A... here's my information regarding the waitlist:</p>
<p>I looked up the schedule of classes and it looks like there is multiple 100A courses that have open seats? I don’t understand the difference between the lecture and discussion course listings, what is up with that?</p>
<p>You’ll probably get in. Only two people in your discussion have to drop. Otherwise, if there are open seats in another discussion section, take them if they fit your schedule.</p>

I really hope I can get in. Currently, the Econ100A is fully enrolled. Even I register the Discussion Section with open seats, I would still become an waitlist in that open section. As I know that the open seats are all reserved for Econ students with an Econ class code. </p>

Yes you’re right. To declare Econ in first sem, I can pick 100A / 100B / 101A / 101B as well as Stat20 / Stat21.
However, all of my friends and I decided to take 100A together. One difference is that most of my friends are accepted as Pre-econ, and they got their additional econ code during CalSo too.</p>
