<p>if I'm number 78 on the waitlist for math 1A, am i likely to get in?</p>
<h1>78 for lecture right? what's your discussion waitlist position?</h1>
<p>you could be #4 on a waitlist for a discussion section yet be #78 for the lecture</p>
<p>i think im position 6 for teh waitlist. is that bad??</p>
<p>you're kinda borderline... math sections hold ~25 ppl and maybe around 5 ppl may drop in the first week</p>
<p>There's a decent chance you might get in so still show up to your discussion time and try to snag a spot from a no-show</p>
<p>thanks so much ! </p>
<p>Does that mean if I'm position 3 for a discussion I'm likely to get into that class? the class is drugs and teh brain</p>
<p>o and i'm also waitlisted for a really early math discussion section so is it more likely that people will drop that section?</p>
<p>Don't count on it, but you do have somewhat of a chance of getting in. However, it depends on what other people in the class do. I'd say that you'll find out when you attend the first day of discussion. Cross your fingers and hope that some alarm clocks weren't set properly.</p>
