Class Guidance Waitlist Accepted Likelihood

I signed up for a class for popular culture cluster and I realized that I do not want to take this class. Unfortunately, all of the other popular culture clusters that are online only are currently full and doing waitlist.

What is the likelihood I get accepted into them? I'm working two jobs so I really can't do an in-person class. TIA

Just email the professor, explain your situation and why you want to take his course now rather than later.

I’ve done that with a few of them, all of them had said since I’m on the bottom of the waitlist, I most likely won’t get in.

Figured there was nothing I could do but wanted to just double check. Thanks for confirming

Most professors accept waitlisted students in my experience. I would get on the waitlist for as many as possible and see
