<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>I'm a bit nervous as an EECS major b/c for about a month now the Berkeley scheduling site for Spring 09 still shows CS61B as having a 150 seat limit -- all of which are full -- and having a waitlist that's 95 out of 100 right now.</p>

<p>I decided to wait till telebears phase 2 to register for 61B b/c I'd been told that the class would almost without a doubt be enlarged. But, about a week away from my phase 2, it still hasn't been! Should I be worried or should I expect them to add more discussion sections and more seats to the lecture?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>You should be fine. Since after the tech bust, I've haven't heard of a 61 series class that didn't take in everybody that wanted in. Plus its in 155 Dwinelle which can fit 500 kids.</p>

<p>Are you sure? 155 Dwinelle from what I recall isn't that huge. It's certainly not as large as 1 Pimentel.. :/</p>

<p>Sorry to bump an old thread, but there's just over two weeks left before classes resume and there's still over 150 people on the waitlist. X_X What's going on here?.. should we be worried and enroll in another class instead? (EECS major) thanks!</p>

<p>bump I have the same question...also is it possible to do cs61cl before cs61b?</p>

<p>This is getting quite ridiculous...</p>

<p>And yes, it is possible to do 61cl before 61b</p>

<p>This is the e-mail I got from Michael-David Sasson (head of CS scheduling):</p>

<p>Extra sections may be added as soon as we have confirmed gsi support to
teach the sections currently scheduled. While I hope that will be soon,
I can't give a timeline unfortunately.</p>

<p>Let's hope they'll be able to accomodate the majority of people on the waitlist.. T_T</p>
