[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious - Did any of your parents have a clue about your class registration process - or even what classes you were taking - back in the 90s? Mine sure didn’t. [/quote]

I was going to say the same thing. This is pretty nuts. Starting a thread about class registrations and the difficulties involved is basically like saying “does anyone else’s kid have trouble going to the bathroom in the dorm?”[/quote]

Handwringing over course registration, by parents, is the regular theme on FB parent pages at both my kid at the ivy and the one at WM. Then the veteran parents reply to calm down there are placement exams and/or AP scores to wait for, advisors need to sign off in some cases, and in the end they all end up getting required classes. Both schools have course waitlists but more sections/spots are opened if needed at the start of the semester so no one gets shut out of required courses. Larlo may not get his first choice seminar or his first choice calc section but he will get into the courses. Parents even know what professors are "harsh" this summer. When the curve in each section yields 80% Bs and As no one is a "harsh" grader. If Larla gets the "bad" chem prof it won't push her out of premed if she has the smarts to be an MD in the first place.
