Course Sniper

<p>I've noticed that a lot of my friends who go to UCI have had a lot of trouble registering for classes for next quarter because they are already full. I wrote a quick program that you can use that checks for openings in a given class every 10 seconds, and emails / texts you as soon as it is, so you can quickly run and register for it. </p>

<p>Send me a PM with the class you want to check and your email address / phone number and I'll run it on my server for you.</p>

<p>sounds interesting, but would it matter/work since there are Waitlists for classes? unless these are for the classes that don’t have waitlist? i’m not sure how many classes i’ve encountered w/o waitlist, if any.</p>

<p>i just realized that your schedule of classes doesn’t show how many spots there are on the waitlist. I guess the program would be pretty useless in general.</p>

<p>it does. it’s in a column labeled “WL”.</p>

<p>Your post doesn’t really make sense. Your “friends” at UCI are already having trouble signing up for classes? Like 3/4ths of the school hasn’t registered yet, so I find that doubtful.</p>

<p>^ Are you an upperclassman? Well, either way, it should be even more difficult to register for classes once you have to start taking upper-division classes where things get narrowed down and the classes are significantly smaller. I had a fairly early registration time and classes were already full.</p>

<p>But anyways, it does sound interesting; very nice of you to offer. I might shoot you a PM sometime.</p>

<p>doesn’t the WL column tell you how many people are already on the waitlist?</p>

<p>oh, im sorry. did you mean, how many spots are avaiable on the waitlist/still open?</p>

<p>i think the waitlist length is determined by the size of the class. like, (total class size*.1) = WL.</p>

<p>did u write it in java? i would love a copy of the code to play around with</p>

<p>If anybody needs a testimonial or something, UCLABruin just helped me get onto a waitlist. Woohoo!</p>

<p>Since it looks like whimsicality made an account just to PM me, I’ll give my email address here: lakerslive2004 [at] yahoo [dot] com</p>
