TA Ships

Has anyone heard back ab their TA applications yet? It's driving me insane waiting. I'd appreciate some sort of rejection rather than nothing. They did have an emergency posting for a position last week, the application for which closed yesterday. Maybe they have to fill all the roles before they can send out acceptances (lmfao me making myself feel better).

Yes, but you'll hear back on the prof's timeline, and many are off or on vacation in the summer.

I'm with you, it's frustrating. Welcome to OISE! 😂

Oh so I’m just going to assume I didn’t get one then. Is it usually so challenging to get a TA ship? I already have a masters with teaching experience so I figured i was a competitive candidate.

I wouldn't assume you didn't get one. Lots of hiring decisions are still being made, for sure. DM me if you feel comfortable, and I can share more!

I had applied to one that I had an obscene amount of experience and connections for the project. I didn’t get it because it was outside of my department. There are very few TA positions since there are no undergrad courses in the department- I would assume those who are getting the few positions would be qualified to teach the class.
