<li>did not get into genetics 281</li>
<li>did not get into stats 171</li>
<li>got into the chem lab i wanted to and then forgot to hold down control to select both section and lab. section replaced lab. now i didn’t get lab.</li>
</ol>
<p>getting into genetics / stats shouldn’t be too hard i presume because they are big lecture classes (especially genetics)?</p>
<p>for the chem lab however, how hard is it to get into the one i want (friday afternoon)? if this doesn’t happen, as none of my other days can fit the lab, then my whole schedule goes bonkers</p>
<p>Don't worry about it too much. They understand how important it is to get your desired time slots (and they also understand how neurotic premeds can get). I got a bad lab time for chemistry last semester but I just went during the first week of classes and asked for a lab change, and everything was fine. If it's really important to you that you get a Friday lab, I suggest you go there early on the designated petition time before your desired lab so that you're first on the "waitlist" (not actually a waitlist but they call it that for some reason). Good luck!</p>
<p>if i was a really serious pre-med i wouldn't be taking genetics freshman year ;p. miraculously, i got into my friday lab. so my question now is,</p>
<p>is the hard to get into genetics and stats when they are full now?</p>
<p>how does the genetics lab work btw? on my schedulizer only the two lectures show up</p>
<p>I don't know about genetics because I haven't taken it yet. But I do know that generally when you don't get a course during pre-enrollment, it's not that difficult to add it during the semester. By anecdotal evidence, everyone I've talked to, and myself included, have got the courses they needed (or wanted) even after being blocked out by preenrollment just by getting it petitioned (that is, picking up the forms and having the professor sign the sheet). Nevertheless, I'm sure some people get shafted as well.</p>
<p>It would be best to ask someone like norcalguy about genetics because he's a lot more experienced with the Cornell life.</p>
