<p>Can you generally get into the discussion section of your choice by putting yourself on the waiting list for that section? What if just one of the available discussion sections really fits your schedule?</p>

<p>when considering waitlists, go by the one-in-ten rule. that is to say, count on 1 in 10 people to drop.</p>
<p>It all depends on who decides to drop out later on. If you're not lucky, you're better off picking an open section rather than not getting into a section at all.</p>
<p>If you would be first on the waitlist of a 20+ section this early in the game, you would say you are a shoe in.</p>
<p>You should post the specifics (what class, how many spots, what number on waitlist) so we could give you a better advice.</p>
