<p>I'm number 39 on the wait list. Do I have a chance of getting in?</p>
<p>It's one of the easy-A type courses so people won't be dropping b/c it's too hard. People will only drop if they have conflicts or don't go to discussion. You have a slight chance of getting in... but I'd go with a backup class to be safe.</p>
<p>Okay thanks. If I get in to the class I'd have 15-17 units and if not I'd have 13. Should I try to add another class (if I don't get in) or should I just stick with 13 units even though I expect 6 of them to be an easy A? I'm an incoming freshman.</p>
<p>Adding easy breadth/R&C class would be good. The 13 units counselors recommend puts students behind for their first semester. You can always drop a breadth class (since they're usually not early-drop deadline) or change to P/NP if things get problematic later.</p>
<p>Thanks. Any suggestions for really good/interesting breadth courses?</p>
<p>You would only be 'behind' taking the recommended 13 units in Fall Freshman semester if you have zero AP credits, otherwise you are entering with perhaps a year of units. As long as you can deal with all your major and breadth and pre-req and other necessary courses in the remaining 7 semesters at a normal load, taking the light first semester can hardly be termed falling behind.</p>
<p>It'd still be smart to plan for any bad luck down the road (ie late appt time, adviser code mishap, full class, etc). 13 units is a bare bones schedule, at least try to get up to 15 which is the avg units taken. I also prefer to save my 13 unit courseload until senioritis kicks in.</p>
