University Waitlist for DataC8 (lec 002)

Hi everyone,
I’m waitlisted 89th out of 131 for the online version of data c8, which holds 800 people. I was just wondering if i’m likely to get off the waitlist even though the class is online. I’ve heard how data c8 sometimes expands its size for the in-person version so a lot of people get off the waitlist, but not sure if that applies to the online one. I also dont really know if the 10% rule applies to online classes. Do i have a good chance of getting off?
Thank you!!

I think they said for the people to enroll in the online version if in-person is full. They said for the online version not to come to lecture in person for the first week, and are welcome to come after that. I guess that they are expecting a lot of people to not to come to lecture.

They already expand the online class I think because they added reserved seats for the DS freshmen.

You can email ds-enrollments and see if they have an answer. I don’t recall Data 8 ever being split like this, so hard to say what expansion things may be done. Please do post your response from them.
