<p>What is the safest number range to be on a waitlist position for a class that holds 99 students? Because I am currently waitlisted as position 11 for my preferred class but I have a backup class that will put me in position 2 but it starts at like 7am which is killer.</p>
<p>I heard somewhere that generally the first 2 people on the waitlist have a good chance of getting into the class, but #3 and on is chancing it.</p>
<p>Sometimes it also depends on the building you’re in. If the professor sees that there are plenty of empty seats they’ll let in a wave of students. This is entirely up to the professor though, so it’s not a guarantee.</p>
<p>Attend the class and speak to the professor after.</p>
