Ah, it can't be the same for Science/Math right? Seeing how that's all factual/Black and white versus projects and whatnot. I imagine it'd be easier for a teacher to mark +5 assignments in science than +5 business proposals

Stats is under the Math/Stats department. Not sure how lenient they are either, but sometimes the limiter is because of seats and equipment in the labs. Last I remember, teachers were saying if they let you in, they'll have to let everyone else in too etc etc not fair blah blah. Just attend unless you're really busy and need the extra time for something else. Worse case is a no anyway.

18th and 10th on my most important courses
is there any hope? :c i will pray to the based god that he gets me through this struggle
math/french
jesus shit...good reality check to be on top of my registration time instead of delaying it for 30 mins and procrastinating checking my course times/schedule.
What determines your activation time?

Although waitlist ends after the first week of class. You can still keep attending class for two more weeks until the last day possible for registering in a class. During the second week, most of those waitlisters have already given up. You can still attend though and keep checking the "search courses" page to see if there are any spots remaining. One semester, I was like 20th by the end of week one. I continued to go to class and did the notes and the work. I wasn't allowed to hand them in or do any quizzes. A day or so before the end of third week, a kid dropped out and since no one from the waitlist was showing up other than me, I was given the spot. Because there is no waitlist during the second and third week, if a spot opens up, there is no way of the prof to contact anyone that was on the waitlist to see if they want to register for the class. So the prof would probably continue on with 39 students. When I finally got in, I worked out a deal with the prof. I was given a deadline for the following week to finish and hand it all the homework and catch up on missed notes etc, which was fine since I had been regularly attending classes.

hmm, thanks for this bit of info. How does this work if like +10-20 people show up to the class then? It'll be extremely crowded and i don't think a prof would put up with that

If the english class you received an offer is the same as the ones you're waitlisted for, you can't register until you drop out of the waitlist - so make sure it doesn't conflict with any other courses!
You have a pretty good chance at 6 & 7. I've managed to get into some being 36th on the list. Don't sweat it too much, there are more sections offered during winter and spring sessions than summer, so you'll get it then. Plus you now have some credits giving you priority over those who just applied to langara.

i think my problem is that when youre as low as 3-5 that's what everyone else is thinking, and the only way to get into the course is by people in the actual course dropping

Looking really grim. I dont think anyone will drop english.
Everyone that's gonna drop a course is gonna do it today for the 100% tuition, and past may 10th its just stupid to drop a course since you dont get anything back. Posted via RS Mobile

My experiences were based on business classes. So I'm not sure how it would translate with Chem classes, ie. if its a lab you might not be allowed to participate etc.
I'm sure you will be able to get by the first week attending class, but if you choose to try what I did and continue two weeks after, you may not be allowed to sit in (re: first part of my response).

Does this school ever have any decent events? I feel like because it's a community college it's social aspect may suffer quite a bit...
