<p>yeah. i wanna take Dr.Hodel's 103 class (that's only time i can take) and when i place that into my bookbag. it says "WL:5" (i assume there is already 5 ppl in a WL)</p>

<p>should i stay in WL? what's a chance i can get into that class??
and when time comes and i really need to register, can I register a filled class??
and what if i cant get into that class (and math is a requirement for freshmen at engineering school)??</p>

<p>please give me your insight :D thanks!</p>

<p>p.s : it's kinda and totally irrelevant, but do you think 32 course topics (and understanding of them) are necessary for 103??</p>

<p>I don't think you're allowed to stay on waitlists as a freshman because they want you to have your entire schedule figured out for when you arrive on campus. You can change it later, which i guess might allow you to monitor the waitlist. I'm pretty sure that that will be a tough class to get in to... Dr. Hodel is one of the better 103 teachers (from what I've read). I'm hoping to take 103 next semester with him.</p>

<p>who else's good for 103?
cuz i checked Ratemyprofessors.com and other professors have received... somewhat bad review</p>

<p>p.s : as an engineering major , i have to take math.</p>
