Based on my own experience (did it 3 years ago so might not still be the case), it does help your registration if you went to an early orientation. I went to the second orientation session and we registered in the morning of the last day compared to my roommate who went to the last orientation and registered on his third day, which was almost a month later (not exactly sure about the time difference but it was quite late). However it doesn’t really mater since as freshmen we all registered for intro classes which all held large student capacities and could rarely be filled up, it’s a totally different situation with others competing for a spot in some 40-student classes.

Also if you are in any incoming student group like TIP/Gateway/etc, you will be given options on the registration day to go to their reserved area/section where you can still be added even if the class is already full, that’s because most of those groups have reserved spots for their student in many intro classes and you will be covered during the registration. Hope this helps
