UWMadison does attending SOAR early help with choosing the classes that fit my schedule?

Incoming freshman for UWMadison. The time of day of my classes matter a lot to me. I’m a night owl, and given how difficult college classes can be, one morning class can absolutely screw me over.

I know that for new students, I should only register for classes during SOAR, and I assume I can’t contact my advisor before that? I’ve already signed up for a SOAR session, but I’m wondering if I should move that to earlier in June.

Will registering for classes early help with getting the desired schedule I want in terms of time of day? Because I don’t want a situation where a required class only has morning slots open. Or is it not first come first serve?

I contacted the Office of Academic & Career Success, but they weren’t entirely helpful.
