How likely am I to get into the classes Im waitlisted for?

Im waitlisted for two of my classes, but am number one on both waitlists. One of the classes is a 350 student lecture while the other is a 45 student lecture, is it likely that I can get in to the classes I need to?

I think your chances are good. My son has always gotten into his waitlisted classes and he’s always been in the teens on the wait list. I think there will be many students dropping and changing their classes this week.

@japsmom Day 1 and still the same, should I start getting worried?

@thatdude2020 Are you positive that you are waitlisted for the class? I’m on another site and parents are complaining that their kids classes are showing as watlisted but really the class has a waitlist but they are NOT waitlisted. When you pull up your schedule does it say enrolled? I would think that if you are number one on the waitlist you would have gotten in by now. The only thing I can say is email your adviser and get their advice.

@japsmom I dont think Im enrolled, It isnt the case that you mentioned. I was gonna wait it out until thursday. The only reason being I only need 1 person to drop each course.

@japsmom My adviser told me to wait it out for a day or so, Im just gonna assume Im not getting in if its the same situation come Thursday.

@japsmom Is it possible people are waiting for the last day to drop classes? this is kind of ridiculous at this point. The classes are math 141 and chem 202, I would think atleast 1 person needs to drop.

Dude, calm down. Relax

@thatdude2020 I’m not an expert but I find it really strange that in a class of 350 no one has dropped the class yet.
What did your adviser say? Did she check the schedule with you? Like I said, I’m on another page, and I know students are dropping many of their classes and rearranging their schedules already.

@japsmom she told me to wait it out, and no she just told me to wait a day or so on tuesday and the same today and come up with a back up plan id it does not work out. I di have a back up plan but its really inconvenient as it requires me to take classes at world campus alongside classes here. Im thinking there will be a lot of people dropping last minute but I dont know.

@NASA2014 kinda hard to relax.

I think your problem may be that those are required courses for a lot of majors…so the people scheduled for them NEED them. This isn’t like a general ed, where people drop it and chose something they might like better. I would think you need to have your schedule finalized before next week or you will be too far behind.

People do get scared of difficult classes and drop them, though, so I am very surprised there has been no movement in the waitlist this week.

@jlhpsu maybe, the classes are math 141 and chem 202 Idk if they are required for most classes or not. Math 141 is definetley a common class that gets dropped not sure about chem 202.

@bodangles yeah I’ll just check one last time saturday, and hope atleast one person drops both classes.

I’m seeing several open sections (aka have at least one seat free) of MATH 141 on LionPATH – do none of those fit your schedule?

Sec 2 - MWThF 8 am
Sec 3 - MWThF 9:05 am
Sec 5 - MWThF 9:05 am
Sec 9 - MWThF 8 am
Sec 13 - MWThF 3:35 pm
Sec 20 - MWThF 4:40 pm
Sec 21 - MWThF 4:40 pm

@thatdude2020 I hope you were able to get into a section of MATH 141, at least? I still see about eight sections with an open seat. After today I think there’s a fee to add classes.
