<p>Hey I’m going to Calso tomorrow as a trasnfer and I have a few questions regarding my schedule
I am taking: Econ 100 B With Olney
Stats 21 with Stark
And Preferably a business class.</p>
<li>Now I know you can only choose within 10 units for Calso, does that I mean I can’t choose the third class for Phase 1? What class CAN I CHOOSE in addition to those two classes?</li>
<li>For Stats 21 with Stark, it says :enrollment information
This section is full, and 0 student(s) are on the waiting list, with a limit of 40.</li>
</ol>
<p>This Waiting List will be processed automatically each weekend during Tele-BEARS Phases I and II and nightly during the Adjustment Period.</p>
<p>Does that mean I will be number one on the waiting list? That means I will probably get in, correct? </p>
<li>for Econ 100 B with Olney, 285 student(s) are enrolled, with a limit of 420 and 41 student(s) are on the waiting list, with a limit of 100.</li>
</ol>
<p>Since I am a junior transfer, I will be able to register, correct?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>You will be on a waiting list for a lab section (201 to 204) as well as the lecture for Stark Stat 21. You can’t clear the main wait list until you clear into a lab. You will be first on the list for those as well, since none has anyone yet on the waitlist but all four are full. The odds look pretty good but it will partly depend on which lab you picked and when that lab has an opening from which you will clear. </p>
<p>You can also stalk the registration numbers and look for someone who switches, leaving an open seat. Telebears will process the waitlist at the weekend but any student that tries to directly register in the class before then will snag the spot - that could be you if sufficiently motivated. </p>
<p>For Econ 100B, the key is is the following:</p>
<p>Instructor Approval; a Class Entry Code is required to enroll in these seats. (Open)
Students with a registration status of new or readmitted (Open)
Students in the College of Letters and Science (Full)
Open seating (Full) </p>
<p>Since you are a junior who is a new student, you fall into the category that is still open and would get the seat immediately. You also need to register for a discussion section but there are many with plenty of openings.</p>
<p>Based on the status tonigth and assuming nobody else registers before you, you would get into the Econ 100B straight away and would be first on the wait list for Stat 21. </p>
<p>Check the times of the open discussions for Econ and labs for Stat as they are a potential source of time conflict, along with the lectures themselves of course.</p>
<p>Rider, what do you mean when you say stalk the registration numbers and look for someone who switches? I am very motivated and I definitely will do that if i know how to :]</p>
<p>every time you think of it, go to [Search</a> Fall - Online Schedule Of Classes](<a href=“http://schedule.berkeley.edu/?PageID=srchfall.html]Search”>http://schedule.berkeley.edu/?PageID=srchfall.html) , select the class you are ‘stalking’ and then don’t pay attention to the numbers shown on the screen that comes up as it is the status as of the night before, not the real time value. Instead click on the little link below the section you care about, it will give you current enrollment information and course restrictions. </p>
<p>If you see an opening, hop onto Telebears at your next opportunity and register for the section. The automatic clearing of waitlists is scheduled for the weekend, which means openings might sit there for five days before the waitlist is processed. Anyone that does a direct attempt to register will get in, ahead of the souls waiting on the waitlist.</p>
<p>Thanks Rider! Does that mean I shouldn’t waitlist for the class at all so that I can get in before the waitlisted people?</p>
<p>I wouldn’t recommend that since you are in such a good position relative to the waitlist. </p>
<p>If you find an opening in the future, after verifying that it still exists, you could drop the class to get off the waitlist and immediatley add it, snagging the open seat. A tiny bit of risk but less than if you have no waitlist position at all. Between when you check the availability and when you get the add processed, if someone else registers first they could get your seat but you have just given up your waitlist. Rejoining would put you further back on the list, behind those somnolent folks who are passively waiting for the waitlist to clear.</p>
<p>I don’t know if you can just reprocess the request to the waitlisted class without first dropping - don’t know anyone who tried that but perhaps someone else on here has that experience and can enlighten you.</p>
<p>Wow, Rider you have no idea how helpful you are!
I have one last question though: For Phase 1, I am taking the 4 unit Econ and 4 unit Stats class. There is a Business class In Haas for 2 units Can i Take that, adding it up to 10 units in total? </p>
<p>I know I will be waitlisted, but if I am ahead on the waitlist, I will get the class right?</p>
<p>As long as you meet the criteria for the class and there is room, you can register up to the max of 10.5 units (the .5 is for PE classes if you feel the urge to add one). </p>
<p>No guarantees on waitlists. The general rule of thumb is that the about 10% of the overall class size is the amount of people who eventually get in. You might not get in for weeks into the semester, however, but would still need to attend and buy books just in case. You also would have to register for enough confirmed units during phase II to meet the minimums for your college, e.g. for L&S you would have to be in 13 units when the semester starts. Some few classes have very little waitlist movement, some have a lot, but the general rule fits the average situation. If you are near or at the front of a waitlist, you are more likely to be cleared before the semester actually starts, since people are constantly shifting around. If the class they really wanted suddenly has an opening, they drop the course they had to take to meet minimum units and then the students waiting for that class get in. It ripples down, just like the waitlists for college admissions ripple down. If you are waitlisting for a ‘HYPS’ kind of class, one that is ferociously desired, the number cleared from waitlist is low. Further down the pecking order, the ebb and flow of registrations is more pronounced.</p>
<p>Wow, lots of professional terms here :] Thanks! </p>
<p>I was planning on choose two more business classes for Phase II, which for me is June 27th. Since I will be placed on the waiting list no matter what, what kind of classes do you recommend? classes with bad teachers so that not alot of people will choose it, therefore I will be off the waitlist?</p>
<p>I really want to take Haas classes, even though I will never be able to be part of that. But taking classes will still help me improve !!</p>
