How do we know which courses are full without trying to register?

<p>Hi. I am an incoming freshman and would like to sign up for either Calulus 21M-Accelerated Calculus or Calc 21AH-Honors Calc. Is there any way I could check if these classes are full or not and if so if I can get on a waitlist?? Because I am not able to register for courses at this time. Also, since I received no advising, I had no idea which courses to sign up for so I only chose Calc 21C. I obviously have not met the prereq’s but would like to go for either 21M or 21AH. I got a 5 on the Calc AB exam. **Do you think I am ready for either these classes? Are they full and how can I check or get on waitlist? Which one is typically harder? ** I am a physics major applying to medical school by the way.</p>

<p>P.S. Sorry if this is a bit jumbled. I am kind of in a hurry since classes are filling up! I have bold faced my questiosn in a nutshell. Please answer them if you can.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Medical School doesn’t really care which class you take as long as you fulfill the prerequisites. Frankly, you can take a very easy math class and you’d be fine, but it’s ultimately up to you. Medical School will only weigh GPA.</p>

<p>If you haven’t taken the math placement exam, then I don’t believe you even meet the requirements to be in Math 21M… though I may be wrong.</p>

<p>The open course list is located on the registrar’s website. If a class isn’t listed on it, it’s either waitlisted or closed.</p>

<p>Yes, but I scored a 5 on the Calc AB exam. I believe that waives me the Math Placement? I’m not sure? Someone please correct me if I am wrong.</p>

<p>With a score of 5 you don’t need to take the math placement exam, you are correct.</p>

<p>No, actually collegemom16 is wrong. The 21M requirement clearly has an “and” clause.</p>

<p>“Prerequisite: grade of B or higher in both semesters of high school calculus or a score of 4 or higher on the Advanced Placement Calculus AB exam, and obtaining the required score on the Precalculus Diagnostic Examination and its trigonometric component.”</p>

<p>Ok, so when/where do I take this Precalc diagonstic exam w. wits trig component? And how come I don’t see Calc 21M or 21AH Honors on the Open Course list…even from the very first day. Are they not having either this semester or what?</p>

<p>Well, the examination was supposed to be taken during summer orientation. I believe they also offer it during the first week of classes.</p>

<p>It’s very possible they only offer 21M every other quarter, so you’d have to check the scheduled classes list.</p>
