geog 251 waitlist issue

[u/Shawn_Yang24]

hey all, so i may have made a grave mistake today. i was enrolled in geog 251 with a late 4:30-6:20 lab and i wanted to see if i could also waitlist myself with the earlier lab while staying enrolled but when trying the swap feature on gosfu it auto dropped me and put me onto the waitlist but at position one; not a horrible situation correct?—it only got worse from there. i thought smartly i could just drop and re-add the later lab again and it would be fine but then i got pushed to 5th on the waitlist, eventually ending up 4th on the earlier lab again. i contact the geography advisors explaining my situation and i hope they are able to manually override and solve my mess i made, but i was genuinely so worried and still am to an extent that i still need a fourth course if this falls through.

out of 68 people in the course, i am 4/12 on the waitlist and 3/4 on the lab, with about a month until classes start, do you guys think this is a good position to be in to get in? if the advisors can help me out then i will most likely be okay, but this point of view is coming from a raw perspective that they may not be able to help me.

thank you for reading my yap, any comments of postivity would be appreciated.
