<p>I wanna sign up for this class during my TeleBears tomorrow but Im a PH major not Educ and the schedules online say instructor approval only. </p>
<p>What exactly is the process for getting into this class and how selective is it-(is it based on grades, essays, questions on application, etc)</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter if you sign up for it now or later; waitlist is the same as those who are enrolled. On the first day of class, they will pass out the application. Ed minor seniors get first precedence, then by grade level (junior, sophomore, etc.). The more education classes you have taken, the better your chances. They don’t care about grades. The application consists of a few short answer questions of the usual caliber.</p>
<p>so ive only taken Educ C1 BUT I do have senior class status</p>
<p>does my lack of education classes put me at a disadvantage then?</p>
<p>Rule #1 for signing up for Education 190: Don’t phase 1 it. Regardless of your waitlist position, everyone is waitlisted and it is determined by a form in the beginning whether you’ll get in or not.</p>
<p>It also doesn’t matter how many Education classes you’ve taken, but they do give priority to Education minors as well as people who are in their last year/semester at Cal. If anything, you’ll get in more along the lines of being a minor or a senior versus if you have a high GPA, volunteer a lot, etc.</p>
<p>You are only guaranteed if you are an Ed minor who has finished all other requirements and are graduating that semester…</p>
<p>Otherwise, you have to be pretty unique and dedicated to taking that course.</p>
<p>I’ve tried getting in… have not succeeded yet :S</p>
<p>Thank you BIGAUS!</p>
<p>how many people that apply actually end up getting turned away though? because they have four sections and i find it hard to believe all 4 of them will be so full they cant accept anyone else-im wondering if i should come up with a backup class or not…</p>
<p>also, how is the actual workload of this class?</p>
<p>thanks again :)</p>
<p>and StarryNight: what type of questions did they ask you the last times? man, i hope you get in this time-that must suck :/</p>
<p>I applied to 2 ed classes this sem… and got rejected from both.</p>
<p>They ask you for the basic info… </p>
<p>Why you wanna take that class
What you can contribute
what other classes you’ve taken
your education history</p>
<p>and some other questions I dun remember. Basically, the first class is just you filling out your app :)</p>
<p>Dude… 4 sections is too little. For each class, there are about 90 applicants… and that’s when there were more than 4 sections… now, with 4, it’s probably only seniors who get in… </p>
<p>Cause there’s probably more ed minors than spots… o___o</p>
<p><< is also an ed minor
Last sem I had 106 units too… :S</p>
<p>And I do 3 education clubs with leadership positions
come from a pretty unique background…</p>
<p>and STILL did not get in… =___=</p>
<p>And I wrote essays for those questions too :S #$%#$%</p>
<p>s h it. i should find a backup class</p>
<p>yeah… for sures… T____T</p>
