<p>What do you guys think of the chance of getting into a waitlisted class? I was at number 4 and now i'm at number 1. Think i'll get in?</p>
<p>most likely, but it depends on a lot of factors. go the first day and ask (beg/plead/grovel) the instructor if you can add the class.</p>
<p>Go to the first class. I am pretty sure you will get in, even if no one else drops it. (Though, of course it depends on the type of class you are talking about)</p>
<p>Agree, go to the first class and keep going! Most likely you will be in that first day or shortly after. Make a point of telling the prof that you are trying to get into the class so there is a name connection even if it’s a big lecture class.</p>
<p>Oh she knows 
I had her as my chinese history professor last semester.</p>
<p>My son is sitting on a course in case another course that he is signed up for gets canceled due to low enrollment. He will do a drop on the course when it is clear that the other course will run (an indicator of that is if the textbook shows up in the bookstore - the instructor hasn’t specified the textbook yet - the course looks like a last minute adjunct course). He needs the course that he signed up for but could take it in the summer or fall too. So hang in there on your waitlist.</p>
