<p>so what do you do when you're on a wait list for a class? my OC told me not to put myself on a list, but i figured why sign up for a class that i don't want to take anyway? i'm in position #1 for one of the discussion sessions for a cluster, but if no one ever drops, then what do i do? just email the prof. and go anyway?</p>
<h1>1 is fine. chances are someone will drop. keep in mind you have until mid-october (friday of second week) for someone to drop.</h1>
<p>if for some reason no one drops, then if there is space in the room your TA should let you in. either that or they will help you switch to an open section.</p>
<p>generally if waitlists are a concern your prof/TA will address them in the first lecture or section. til then, don't sweat it!</p>
<p>what about math? i'm #1 on waitlist for math31A</p>
<p>All the math classes I've been in, the professor has let everyone on the waitlist into the class.</p>
