<p>I signed up for STA 120 and am now first on the waitlist. There are other sections that are open, but the one I chose fits my schedule the best. Should I pick the one that’s open? Or is there a good chance that the professor will let me in the class?</p>
<p>I think you’ll be okay since you’re first on the waiting list. Someone is bound to change their mind when it comes to the adjustment period later this month and then the add/drop period in September. If there’s a professor you wouldn’t mind taking it with that’s at another time that could work also, I’d look into that if you want a secure spot.</p>
<p>You could also email the professor. I did for one of my classes and was told straight out they would not be adding from the waitlist.</p>
<p>Right now, it only says Staff, so I don’t know who the professor will be yet. I guess I’ll wait it out and see if people drop the class. Thanks for the responses!</p>
