<p>I missed the HASS-D Lottery deadline because I was travelling. </p>
<p>I have heard that you can email the admissions office with your choices after the deadline and they may place you in the lottery anyway. I have not been able to find a list of HASS-D courses anywhere that I can reference to make these choices - does anyone know where I could find this? </p>
<p>If I wait until registration day and then pick my HASS-D from whichever have open spots, will I have no chance to get into a good HASS-D?</p>
<p>The list of open HASS-D classes will be posted [here[/url</a>] when it’s available – right now, it looks like it’s still last semester’s list. (But you can see that there were lots of courses left with open spots last semester – usually it’s not a huge problem to show up to a course on the first day with an add form, although it’s preferable to lottery in if you’re picky.) According to the main HASS-D page, the lottery results won’t be posted until August 23, so it’s likely they won’t update the list until after that date.</p>
<p>There’s no harm in contacting the HASS admins (not the admissions office – they have no responsibility for you anymore :)) and asking whether you could be entered into the lottery late. The admin contact email is on [url=<a href=“http://shass.mit.edu/undergraduate/hass/lottery/freshman]this”>MIT SHASS: Undergraduate Studies - Updated]this</a> page](<a href=“http://shass.mit.edu/undergraduate/hass/lottery/open]here[/url”>MIT SHASS: Undergraduate Studies - Updated).</p>
<p>I may be misunderstanding the new and improved HASS requirement, but I’m getting that you don’t need to enter the HASS-D lottery unless you have a particular class you want to take that’s designated as a HASS-D. A list of HASS-D subjects offered in fall 2011 can be found [url=<a href=“MIT Subject Listing & Schedule Fall 2023 Search Results”>MIT Subject Listing & Schedule Fall 2023 Search Results]here[/url</a>].</p>
<p>great - thanks!</p>
<p>that subject search tool was exactly what i was looking for…</p>
<p>looks like there are plenty of really great HASS subjects that are not HASS-D’s, so I’ll take my time to research my options :]</p>
