Historical Analysis

How sorting works
Balanced
40% grades, 40% seat pressure, 20% availability.
Grades
100% grades.
Seat odds
100% seat pressure.
Open first
100% availability.

Percentages are score weights, not enrollment probabilities. Seat pressure combines current fullness and historical demand. Availability uses the latest open, waitlist or closed status, including required discussions. Sorting reorders courses; it does not filter them.

Custom weights can be shared in the URL: w_gpa, w_fill and w_open.

Hours you are already busy

Press and drag down a day to block it out, then apply your hours.

Use arrow keys in the grid and space to toggle a half hour.

Pick the days, set the hours, add it.

    Nothing blocked out yet.

    Sections that clash with these are hidden.

    You cannot enroll in sections held for new students unless you are one, and they are marked in the list. Useful for seeing what a category really offers.

    1 section needs a prerequisite you have not listed, and dibs assumes you have taken nothing. Add what you have taken, no account needed. Show everything.

    Seat counts as of : the oldest of these 40 readings. Seat readings are snapshots, not live availability. Their timestamps show when dibs last checked.
