<p>When is it still practical to place yourself on the waitlist for classes? If the number of individuals enrolled+on the waitlist exceeds the maximum spots available for the class by more than 50 percent, is it still reasonable to phase 1/waitlist the class? What is the usual cutoff for determining whether you can still get the class?</p>
<p>Thanks for any replies.</p>
<p>10% rule(i.e. First 13 kids waitlisted should get into a class that has 130 students in it)</p>
<p>There are some exceptions tho, like math classes where ppl tend to drop them more frequently.</p>
<p>What class is this?</p>
<p>Thanks for all the answers; it’s German R5A.</p>
<p>Just a quick tip, but most of the the R5A-B is open enrollment for freshman. So even if there are waitlists, if there are open seats you’re good (if you’re a freshman).</p>
<p>For example one of the classes has 5 on the waitlist and 4 open seats. The only way those people will not get in off the waitlist is if 13 freshman sign up for this class.</p>
<p>I figured this out when there was 1 spot open (10 on the waitlist) and I was automatically enrolled (Pretty sweet feeling).</p>
