<p>I need to sign up for chem 1a and two of the lectures are still open but when I tried to add it all the labs were full. Do I waitlist a lab that I would want? What do I do?</p>
<p>Oh and if I want to take a class like Japanese 7a so I can get rid of Reading and Composition Course from List B or take Japanese 1a so I can learn the language do I just waitlist it so and hope I get in if I dont fit the restrictions?</p>
<p>I have the same problem. For some reason, I can only waitlist for the full lecture, not the two with 100+ open seats.</p>
<p>@akman159: did you put in the right Course Control Number? The sections all have different CCNs I think. Also, depending on the course, it may have restrictions on sign ups.</p>
<p>Hey NYSP2010,</p>
<p>Whenever I put the CCN for Arnold or Majda, I get a list of filled discussions, no waitlist possible.</p>
<p>I think if you select “add to waitlist” rather than “add a class,” telebears will let you waitlist those other lectures.</p>
<p>Should I try the “add to waitlist” method and drop from the waitlist for Stacy? I’m 50 on the lecture and 1 on the lab. Or should I just stick to Stacy’s waitlist? What are the chances of actually getting in through the waitlist?</p>
<p>Sorry for hijacking this thread…</p>
<p>They will usually open up an additional lab section. There’s an extra section at the bottom of the page listed as currently not open - this one should turn into an actual lab section later if enough people sign up for the lecture.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t risk being 50 on the waitlist if I had those other options. 50 people seems like quite a lot to get through.</p>
<p>But isn’t your section waitlist position more important than your lecture?</p>
<p>Yeah, you’re right.</p>
<p>You could take Chem 4A as an alternative class. It fulfills the same requirements as 1A.</p>
<p>Chem 4A I heard is and I quote “A whole other animal” compared to Chem 1A. Much harder.</p>
<p>Luckily, all the weeder classes will have many people who drop out. Audit the class with the fewest number of students, and you should have no problem. In my experience, as long as the waitlist is 15% or less than the enrollment limit, you are OK.</p>
<p>yeah. the class is not yet full according to schedule.berkeley.edu however all the current open labs are full. dept of chem needs more GSIs</p>
<p>sooo like if i was 16 on the waitlist for the lecture and then 2 on the waitlist for the labs am I good? can I audit both the lecture and the lab?</p>
