<p>let's say you're spot # 1/5 on the waitlist for a class, which is filled 20/20. suppose that someone who is enrolled in the class drops. are you automatically bumped up from wait list spot #1 into the class?</p>
<p>Yes. </p>
<p>And I think you'll be fine. If you don't automatically get bumped up, still show to the class. A lot of times people don't show up, even in small classes. Or professors will just keep all 5 from the waiting list if they're benevolent.</p>
