<p>I am majoring in engineering and was recommended to take MATH 20A and CSE 6A but both classes are full and have a 10+ wait list for all sections. What do I do now?</p>
<p>get on the waitlist …</p>
<p>Wouldn’t that be risky?</p>
<p>For a 300 student lecture- If you’re 10th on the waitlist you’ll very likely get in during the first week of class, If you are 20th on the lecture waitlist that’s risky.</p>
<p>For the 20 person Discussion Section- If you’re 10th on the waitlist you will not get into that particular section but- the prof will probably add an extra discussion section to accomodate those on the waitlist- so get on the waitlist anyway so they know you’re interested. </p>
<p>Sometimes they underestimate how many students will want to take their course. So they add an extra Discussion section at the last minute.</p>
