Is it me or does W&M have the worst registration of any school?

</p>

<p>How many schools have you registered at?</p>

<p>

@coolio123

Within probably 1 minute of registration opening, virtually every class was filled. Definitely all the good ones.

</p>

<p>Yep. That’s why I went to Add/Drop the second it turned 1:00. Literally. I watched at my computer for the second it turned 1:00. You needed to be prepared for it. Obviously hundreds and hundreds of other students were.</p>

Is this what I can expect for the next 4 years? Having to beg profs to let me in their classes because I was literally a second too late?

</p>

<p>Dude, you’re a freshman. Too bad. So sad. Everybody else gets to go before you. That’s how it works.</p>

<p>When you become an upperclassmen, you get first pick.</p>

It doesn’t help that Monroe Scholars get like a whole week to choose classes before everyone else. What’s the point of giving students a month to register if they know that all the classes will be taken within 5 minutes of registration opening?

</p>

<p>You do realize how few Monroe/Murray scholars there are right? There aren’t 1,000, I’ll tell you that.</p>

<p>Yes, most of the classes are taken, but that doesn’t mean all 1,200+ kids register in the first five minutes. Some get there late. Do they get their first, second, or third choices?</p>

<p>Probably not. </p>

<p>Really, it sounds like you’re just whining because you were too slow. Not because “W&M registration sucks.”</p>

<p>Plus, it’s not like no classes will gain seats.</p>

<p>There’s an Add/Drop period during the first couple weeks of school for a reason. Some people will switch classes. Maybe the ones you want will open up.</p>

<p>Just chill. Ask politely for overrides.The typical drill.</p>

<p>And yes, the profs check their emails. I’ve emailed quite a few of them and gotten many prompt responses.</p>
