I am currently on waitlist for a calculus class. The class total is 55 and the waitlist max is 5. I am waitlist number 4. What are my chances that I will get into my class? Do students have to drop the class or can the teacher let me join?
If you can convince a teacher to let you in then you could end up taking the class. However since there’s a waitlist I feel like the teacher doesn’t want anymore than the cap that’s placed. Also you mentioned you are #4 on the list so even if the teacher were to budge I feel like they would say it’s unfair to the other students ahead of you on the list and that they can’t chose favorites or whatever. I’d say your best hope is that kids drop the class and you can get one of their spots.
