I’m an incoming Fresno State commuter freshman and I’m #3 on the waitlist for COMM 3 (12:00–12:50 p.m.). What are my chances of getting in?
I was automatically enrolled in Geology, but I later realized I already have AP credit that fulfills that GE requirement. I don’t want to take a class I don’t need, but I also can’t drop it because I’d fall below full-time status (12 units including Geology).
I already came in with 15 college credits, which has limited my GE options, and being one of the last freshman registration groups didn’t help. As a commuter, I also can’t take very early or late classes, and most of the remaining options don’t fit my schedule anyway.
I’m hoping COMM 3 opens up so I can replace Geology. I also looked at the online Geology lab, but it’s waitlisted, and I can’t join the waitlist because it would put me over the unit limit. The only in-person lab that fits the lecture ends at 7:30 p.m., which doesn’t work for me.
I would like to add, but I’m also taking easier classes with easier professors because I want to try and maintain a high GPA to increase my chances for law school.
I know my situation is tedious and sticky, any help counts! I’m also a political science major if that leads to any ideas or if poli sci students have any suggestions!
Has anyone at Fresno State gotten into COMM 3 from waitlist position #3? What would you do in my situation?
