<p>I'm #11 for Anthro 3ac and I'm wondering if I'll be able to get into the class. I was originally #49 about a month ago so I moved up quite a bit. I'm just wondering if I need to just forget about it and move on. It's a lecture with a 352 limit. I really need guidance so please! Help!</p>
<p>Please some guidance needed!</p>
<p>The ‘usual’ rule of thumb says that a waitlist position up to about 35 should get in. You were 49. However, 11 is not that much of a stretch if you are willing to put in the time attending the class and doing the assignments for a couple of weeks - often someone decides to drop 1 or 2 weeks into the class, opening more space for the waitlist. Since they will drop everyone who doesn’t attend the first sessions, you may have an ever better waitlist position on day 2 of the class and some will have been dropped to open spots. your decision - since it is not a slam dunk that you will clear into the class - invest the time if you really want to attend the class this semester, otherwise maybe figure out a plan B.</p>
<p>Thank you for the help. And ya, I guess I should get a back-up plan just in case.</p>
