Yes, it is still that way. I've found (I have the 8 pack) that if I schedule all my classes the day I get my credits for the month, I am usually able to get all the classes I want. I am usually on a waitlist for a couple classes early in the month, up until the day before/day of the class, but 90% of the time I am able to get in. It's definitely frustrating, and it's worse right now at the beginning of the new semester, but it's generally workable.
