Phase I vs Phase II classes

Hey guys, my phase I is coming up in a week and I'm in a quagmire. Here are the classes I wanna take:

Stat 21
Rhetoric R1b
AA Studies R2b
Chem 3A

Which ones fill up the quickest during Phase I and which ones do I have the best chance of still finding a spot during Phase II or at least getting off the waitlist? Btw I am an RCSA scholar (don't know if that helps though....). Thanks!

you might want to sign up for the classes which have discussion/lab sections, so you can get the times you want.

Maybe Chem3A and R1B?

Being a Regent's just means your phaseI and phaseII are earlier than other people w/ your class standing, so that should help a bit

Cannot be true. My roommate is Regents and he has his appointment on Nov 1. One of my suitemates is not a Regents but he has Phase I on same date at same time.

My guess is that they ascertain dates by giving priority to those who already have some AP credit units.

It is done by class standing. I have mine on 11/2 and I am a second year with junior standing. I'd like to know how this is relative to everyone else, since I got terrible appointment times last year (the latest of everyone I knew).

11/3, 1800 hrs. Freshman with Sophomore Standing. Sorry, Student, I think you still have a crappy ass appointment time. I'm the earliest person I know that has Sophomore Standing, most of my friends are going on the 6th.

L&S spring transfer (so junior), English major, went to CalSO... and I still don't get to register until the 8th. The 8th! My phase II is November 22. Why did I even bother going to CalSO again...?

Physics 7C
Chemical Engineering 150
Engineering 77
Engineering 45

HELP! Thanks
