<p>I'm currently position #2 on Econ 100b's waitlist. If I decide to change sections to accommodate for another class, will I lose my waitlist position?</p>
<p>Screw Telebears for giving me such a late slot! :(</p>
<p>It depends on the section you want to switch into. Use the switch sections option on telebears and try to switch to a section that is still open or has a short wait list. This will maximize your chances of getting into the class.</p>
<p>Say, what are the chances of getting into a 30 people discussion if you’re #5 on the waitlist?</p>
<p>not great. rule of thumb says position 3 will clear but 4 will not. those are averages so certainly not out of the question.</p>
