Hello,
Let us place ourselves in a hypothetical situation in which a student? finds his or herself #58 on a wait list for a course of 150 spaces. Realistically, is it just wishful thinking to assume many students will drop out of the wait list? within a few weeks, creating a space for said student? And, is there a date when those who are wait listed to be dropped from the wait list?
Thank you.

Hey there AK,
Let us place ourselves in a hypothetical situation that’s actually surprisingly realistic but still completely hypothetical in which a student is answering a question about the oh so troublesome waitlists. If the hypothetical student from this hypothetical situation was #58 on the waitlist in an F or Y section course, then right now, no, there is no chance of getting into the course. Unfortunately, the waitlists for F or Y courses ended on September 16, 2012, and the last day to have added the courses was September 23, 2012.
However, if this course happens to be during the second semester, the hypothetical student should stay on the waitlist and, naturally, wait. He or she has a little over three months until the waitlists for S section courses close and sometimes a ridiculous number of students simply drop it, so he or she should just wait it out for now.
Cheers!
