I couldn't get into ECON 2P03 the night that SOLAR opened so I sent in a SPACE form- I got an email back that they got it and I was 40th on the waiting list.

For a course like 2P03 do I have a realistic chance of getting into the course first semester? I already had success with a music course using a SPACE form.

There is definitely a chance you can get it! but dont just limit yourself to waiting on that...keep trying to get into the course before the end of the drop/add period. chances are someone will drop it before then and you can snatch it up Happened to me for two of my classes last year.

Sorry for the late reply but will they email me to let me know if I get on through the waiting list?

I'm going to keep on trying through SOLAR

Just keep trying everyday.

Econ 2P03 is probably the most popular course in the economics department. It isn't offered every year, so all of the upper year students take it. What I'm trying to say, is no, you're not going to get in unless they've made it ridiculously hard, and Holmes ends up not teaching it (impossible basically)
