<p>First of all, I am a MechE major in the CoE. So today was my phase 2 and judging from my schedule and humanities/social science requirements, i could only take anthro3ac to fulfill one of my requirements. however, i am waitlisted in position 63( -_- ) out of a class of 390. is there any chance that i can get in? also, i got the math1a lecture position i wanted but ALL THE DISCUSSIONS are full....so telebears would not let me sign up for the lecture altogether. Now i am in the waitlist for math1a as well and am in position 19. Is there any chances at all for me for these classes?! thank you.</p>
<p>a math discussion opened up so im good for that class. but now what about anthro3ac?! someone help plz</p>
<p>I do not envy your position.</p>
<p>I’m fairly confident you’ll get into anthro 3ac. They took everyone from the waitlist last fall, they try to accommodate. You’ll probably have to wait a couple weeks into lecture before you’re “officially” in. But you should still go to class if you’re on the waitlist</p>
<p>@Handlebars: Is it possible to be in a discussion and not lecture?? I am in an open discussion for a class (if you search open discussions, mine is listed as one of the opens, yet i am 21 on the waitlist for the lecutre.)</p>
<p>thanks handles but how sure are you of this? :x</p>
<p>LOL the dialogue between alexp and petrovich was hilarious XD</p>
<p>@dottler: I don’t think you’re in the class yet. The discussion is likely only open because telebears hasn’t placed someone from the lecture waitlist into the discussion, but it will soon. But it IS better to be in a discussion that fewer people are in, because you will jump the people who ahead of you on the lecture waitlist but in line for a discussion with no space… if that makes any sense. Sorry if I explained it badly, read this thread for clarification: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-berkeley/966777-waitlist-position-discussion-vs-wl-position-lecture.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-berkeley/966777-waitlist-position-discussion-vs-wl-position-lecture.html</a></p>
<p>@alexp127: A few of my friends took it before and I was debating to take the class last semester. Honestly, it’s not too hard to get into classes off the waitlist, most people do. And in a class like anthro 3ac (which isn’t the most exciting class), people tend to drop once they realize they don’t really like it…</p>
<p>@handle do you know how your friends felt about the class? im pretty much taking it only because it fulfills a requirement and is the only class that fits my schedule :(</p>
<p>@handlebars: I already new about the discussion rule, but thanks for the link. Turns out the discussion section I enrolled in was open, Telebears just took a few hours to process me into the class. Thanks again for the response.</p>
