I placed into WR098. Can I somehow get into WR100 instead?

Hello, recently I got my writing placement marks and got 5/6 placing me into WR098 (The cut-off for WR100 is 5.25).

I tried emailing the office, and they told me that the Associate Director who’s responsible for reviewing placements is out of the country until mid-July.

I don’t want to take WR098 because its an extra course, which I could replace with something I prefer, and because it sounds boring from the course description.

Is there anything I could do in the mean time? All advice will be appreciated. Thank you!

It’s just a week away for the Assoc Director to return so you will just have to wait it out and see what, if any, options you have. While I realize it is an extra course, you want to make sure you have a solid writing foundation.
