Hey! I’m ranked #2 in a waitlist for a class that has 350 students. Is there any chance that I’d get in before September 20?<\/p>\n

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n

the general rule of thumb<\/a> is that if your spot on the waitlist is within 10% of the total number of spots in the course, you have a good chance of getting in.<\/p>\n

now, if you put your impressive, university-level analytical skills to work, you may notice that the number 2 is less than the number 35, which in turn is 10% of 350. so yes, you will probably get in.<\/p>\n

ooh! nothing like a little bit of math on a friday to put a spring in aska’s step.<\/p>\n

xoxo,<\/p>\n
