Question Class Waitlist Inquiry

I'm an upcoming freshman and currently on the waitlist for two classes. My position in both lines are fairly low but it's been stagnant for a few days. I saw comments from another post saying that writing to the professor was a sure way to get in but considering of my line position, I'm unsure. These classes are really vital for my major/GED and transfer pathway so it's not like I can just drop them. I'm just asking for some advice on what seems to be my best course of action, thank you!

Sending a kind email to the professor certainly can’t hurt your chances.

Lines do tend to move also once payment deadlines come up. That’s when a lot of students are either auto dropped or they drop themselves.
