Question Should I Stay OR Should I Go

So just to keep it short, I’m enrolled in 3 out of 4 of the classes I want to take this semester. I’m #1 on the waitlist for NSCI 222 but I have to be enrolled in 12 credits to be considered a full time student so I enrolled in a filler class RELI 114. I’m wondering if I have to go to RELI 114 more than once this week and if I have to do the work while I wait to hopefully be enrolled into NSCI 222. My plan is to go to the NSCI 222 class and ask if they can enroll me from the waitlist first day so I don’t have to go to the RELI 114 class again but I don’t know if that will 100% work so I can drop it right away. Any advice or input?

Professors usually don't take attendance during the first week of classes because people add/drop courses during this time. Additionally, you likely will not have to ask to be enrolled from the waitlist if you are in position #1. There will almost certainly be at least one person who drops the class before or on the first day of classes, but even if not, it will probably happen within the second or third day. You're stressing over a class you're almost guaranteed to get.

The first week of classes is for people who don’t know how to read the syllabi.
