Hey, I’m on a waitlist for 2 courses that I reeeeeaaallllyyyy want to do. If I have a relatively low number of people in the waitlist in front of me, what are the chances that I can get into the course?<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n
the general (GENERAL) rule of thumb is that if you are within the first 10% of the course size (e.g. spots 1-10 in a course of 100 – you’ll notice i keep using this example because my math competency is at a grade 4 level), you have a pretty good chance of getting in.<\/p>\n
past that, it’s all a matter of degree. and luck. no matter how many e’s you stick in the middle of that ‘really.’<\/p>\n
you’ve just gotta keep checking until the deadline<\/a>, and hope for the best<\/a>.<\/p>\n good luck,<\/p>\n aska<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey, I’m on a waitlist for 2 courses that I reeeeeaaallllyyyy want to do.
