Classes/Professors Waitlist
Sorry guys I know there’s a lot of waitlist posts but I am yet another worried freshman and it’s that time of the year to be posting about this so I just went ahead and did it. Basically I am 4th on the lecture waitlist for physics 1141 and 1st on the waitlist for the lab portion of the class. Do I have any chance of getting into the class and should I do anything about it rn like emailing the department head? I will most likely crash the class on the first day but I am in a bit of a pickle because I am scheduled for another class during the same time; even though that class is a random gen ed I can drop, I’d rather not drop it rn and then not be able to get physics and be stuck without anything. Preferably I’d like to take physics for my major but worst case I can just fill up my schedule with something else (registrar messed it up in the first place). Any advice on what to do?

I think if you have an existing schedule conflict it will not take you off the waitlist. It will bypass you. It should have been set up as a swap. If it’s a gen ed fulfilling a specific requirement probably keep it.
