The registrar's own records: 76 grades over 5 terms, Fall 2021 to Fall 2025, summer excluded. Every instructor is pooled here. The table below splits them, and term averages across those 5 terms ran 3.41 to 3.71.
- A+ 11 · 14.5%
- A 18 · 23.7%
- A- 16 · 21.1%
- B+ 12 · 15.8%
- B 15 · 19.7%
- B- 3 · 3.9%
- C 1 · 1.3%
- I 2 of 78
Percentages are of the 76 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: incompletes (I). They are excluded from the GPA entirely rather than scored, because counting a P as a 4.0 would be a fabrication.

“Predicted” is shrunk toward the course average, which is itself shrunk toward the department, so an instructor with a handful of students sits near the course mean rather than topping the list.
dibs measures outcomes: grades, seats, how fast a class fills. For what a class is like to sit in, BruinWalk has the reviews.
What comes first
The chain dibs can see is 8 courses long before CHEM C215A. This is a floor, not a deadline: dibs has not read a class page for CHEM 14BE, CHEM 20B, CHEM 20BH, LIFESCI 30B, MATH 3B, MATH 3C, and PHYSICS 1BH, so the real chain can only be longer than this, never shorter.
Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.
In Falls
Ran in 5 of the last 5 Falls.
From the terms dibs holds, which start in Fall 2021 and exclude summer. A department can run a course in a quarter it never has before.
From the registrar's catalog
dibs has not read the registrar's description for this course. It reads them for general education courses only, so this says nothing about the course. Any section below links out to the registrar, where the catalog text is, and that text is also where a prerequisite the structured list does not carry would be written.
Sections in Fall 2026
You enroll in the discussion, not the lecture, so a discussion's status is the one that decides whether you get in. A lecture can read open while every discussion under it is full.
Seat counts as of : the oldest of these 2 readings. The registrar publishes hourly and dibs reads what it can each hour, so a row can be older than that.
