Waitlist questions

<p>I am a new OOS MechE major this fall, and I am currently getting somewhat tele-screwed for two classes, my chem requirement and elective. I am 28th on the waitlist for the only Chem 1A lecture that my schedule makes it possible to take, with a class size of 523. This is the tough one; this is a required class and i could theoretically pass it with the 3 I got on the AP test way back in sophomore year but I’m not sure if that would be a good idea. I’m already enrolled in a Chem 1AL lab; will that help my chances? Should I just skip the class and hope that I know enough for when ME40 rolls around?
Also, I’m 13th on the waitlist for Geography 70AC, which has a class size of 110. Is it reasonable to assume that I’ll get in if I attend the class? As of now (the end of my Phase II Telebears) I am enrolled in History 7A; I would much rather take Geog 70AC but would not be opposed to taking 70AC in the spring. Should I drop Hist 7A now and just attend Geog 70AC? I plan on taking this elective, whatever it is, pass/not pass.</p>

<p>Thanks,

<p>For chem 1A, you can attend any of the lectures as long as you are registered in one of them. If you can register in a different lecture but have time to attend this one, it will all work out. This is one of the few classes where it really doesn’t matter which you book. Do it now before it fills up.</p>
