summer college waitlist?

[ImAFailure]

i'm currently on the waitlist for a summer math class. the capacity is 28. has anyone ever been on a waited list? how long did it take for a spot to open? do you think i have a chance of getting in?

how?

Holy sh*t, it's not like you have an extensive posting history. Just register a new username.

None of that self-defeating bullsh*t.

And to answer your question, it depends on how many people are ahead of you. Just remember, this is a MATH class. In the SUMMER. When everybody else will be on the beach in the sunshine. Someone out of that 28 is likely to talk themselves out of it. The likelihood of some people dropping the class and moving you up on the waitlist is much higher in the summer than in the winter or fall.

another question. it might seem obvious but i'll ask anyway

i just checked the schools website. the wait list is 2 now. i am one of those 2. as stated earlier, i was the first person on the waitlist. so, how am i supposed to tell if someone drops the class? also, do i have 1st dibs on the class since i was 1st on the waitlist?

You can be sneaky and ask the professor to let you in his class. Just have him sign a slip the admin department will give you. That's how I get into classes that are full.

The way it works is they have a max capacity of people in the room at one time but they always put it like 8-10 short. So lets say the max is 40 they might cut off at 32. It's up to the tacher if they want to let you in past 32. They just can't have any more then 40.

i should obviously do that the 1st day of class?

Just show up to class the first day. There will be a couple of people who are registered who won't make it the first day. There will also be several people trying to add the class the first day, but you'll priority.
