: Nuts & Boalts

Tele-F*CKED 2008, Phase II

Thanks to your diligent efforts, I have lost my unfair advantage over my fellow students. Damn you, Nuts and Boalts!

So says an anonymous survey-taker, and correctly: Tele-BEARS times have been randomized.

Specifically, students have been grouped by graduating class and then randomized within that group. Third year students (with the exception of one very unlucky Boaltie) register at least one day prior to 2L's. Second year students, however, appear to enjoy no registration benefit over 1L's. That is probably of little concern because 1L spring courses carry their own section numbers, which means that 1L's and 2L's do not vie for slots.

So, take comfort. You may be screwed this semester, but it isn't by the UC Registrar. It's now the UC Registrar, as controlled by the hand of God.

I have provided a fairly readable sample of some of the data here. The full spreadsheet, redacted for IP addresses, is here. Note that there is no way to determine whether the times will be re-randomized each semester or if you will be locked into your 'place in line' for your tenure at Boalt, but wouldn't that be a peach?
