CS 168: Introduction to the Internet is a computer science class at UC Berkeley. It is in high demand - the class filled up before I had the chance to sign up, despite the fact that I am a senior and so have high priority, so I was put on the waitlist at position 93.

The class has 217 students, and is currently completely full. Here is a recent chart of my waitlist position over time - I am currently at position 2.

Feb 7: Add-drop deadline, at 11:59 PM

During the first lecture, the instructor mentioned that the class would not be expanding, and said to drop the class now if you are planning to drop, so I expect that the current rate of drops is higher than what I can expect in the future.

I plan to stay on the waitlist until I either get in or reach the add/drop deadline of February 7, the point at which I will be automatically dropped from the waitlist if I am still on it.

Please feel free to request any additional information. I won't trade on this question.

I may try to get in through asking my advisor to enroll me manually or something, if I get in through that I'll N/A this question.
