The Whole Waitlist Thing

Can someone explain to me how this whole waitlist thing works? I have absolutely no idea.

I want to drop Math 1B and take Math 1A. But i’m not very sure what i have to do. I see that 1A has like 400 students and the waitlist has around 4 or 5 students per lecture. So that should give me a pretty good shot to get in right?

But what happens if i don’t get in? Because if i drop Math 1B i end up with 11 units which is 2 below the min. unit requirement. And then not getting into 1a would mean i’m 2 units short all of a sudden.

And also, suppose i waitlist myself for 1A … am i supposed to go to all the lectures and discussion sections without being fully enrolled?
