I/O concentration??

[PhDplease!]

Hello everyone,

I'm graduating at the end of fall semester. I intended to graduate with a Bachelors of Science with an I/O concentration. My advisers just informed me a week before fall semester starts that I need to register for a class which is already closed. I could 1:wait to see if someone drops the course at which time I would be behind in the material, 2: take a class that is a step above the required course or 3: forgo the I/O concentration and graduate with just a BS in Psychology. I want the concentration designation on my transcript to boost my chances of being accepted into an I/O PhD program, that's all. I've taken all but the one computer science course required to fulfill the concentration. So I guess my question to you all is do you think having the concentration designation matters more than taking the classes that would satisfy the concentration? Any advice welcome..Thanks

If you want to take the course, contact the undergrad Secretary of your department and plead your case, see if any strings can be pulled.  On a similar note, profs can often enroll additional students into their course at their discretion, this might be worth checking.
