When do people generally drop a class? First week of class?

<p>I am #1 on the wait list for a psychology class (of 150 people) and I really want to get in. What are my chances of getting in BEFORE class starts?</p>

<p>Some people drop the class AFTER the first lecture, but don’t worry, you’ll get into the class for sure.</p>

<p>Just out of curiosity, what psychology class is it?</p>

<p>It’s Psychology 164 (criminology)</p>

<p>You’ll get in - I am 500% certain</p>

<p>Cool. Just wondering. :)</p>

<p>ok since this thread was already up and all, i figured i would just ask a question here instead of creating a new thread:</p>

<p>so i am waitlister no. 3 for public speaking out of 20 students total [was no. 4 though :P], and that seems like quite a popular class. Should i go on and enroll in a back up class or should i wait it out, and then if i dont get in [or see my chances are horrendous] i would just drop out of the class and enroll for an available class then?</p>
