Waitlist cap for Spanish classes

<p>I dont get why the waitlist cap for the Spanish classes is 100 when the enrollment cap is only 25. Can someone explain to me please?</p>

<p>Unlike in some departments, no one on the Spanish waitlists gets PTE numbers so it doesn’t matter how long the list is.</p>

<p>It just seems so unrealistic to have a waitlist cap 4 times larger than the encap. What chances do people have to actually get in?</p>

<p>The spanish dept. has special rules that apply.</p>

<p>For example, many times they must admit graduating seniors because they need the class to fulfill the requirement, no matter where they are on the waitlist.</p>

<p>Is Spanish a popular major? Or are people just taking it for the language skill classes?</p>

<p>^There’s a foreign language requirement to graduation and most students had previous high school experience with Spanish.</p>

<p>Thanks for the response.</p>
