<p>I'm wait-listed for two classes and the adding process is manual instead of automatic. I really need to get into the classes and I'm not that far down the waitlist. What should I email the professors to show interest? Thanks.</p>
<p>It depends specifically what class you’re waitlisted for, but as long as you attend the class for the first 2 weeks and if applicable, the discussion section, you have a good chance of getting in.</p>
<p>Usually for manual waitlist, the priority is given to those who are in the major or by seniority. Sending an e-mail to show interest is nearly irrelevant.</p>
<p>Just attend the first class and I’m sure the professor would say something about the waitlist.</p>
