"Gladvisor"/"sadvisor"/"madvisor"
Allbert replied to Suraj_S's topic in Coursework, Advising, and Exams
I am in my second year of my PhD in Anthropology and I feel abandoned my supervisor. I also feel like she doesn't like my work. Does anyone else feel that way? -
I will begin my PhD at Carleton in Ottawa and I find rent prices in this city too expensive for a bachelor/1-bedroon apt. Is is feasable to rent /live in Gatineau? The prices are incredibly cheaper. Thank you Albert

What piece(s) of advice would you give to new TAs?
Allbert replied to harrisonfjord's topic in Teaching
I will begin TA this September [2018] and I am kinda anxious .. itis my first experience and on the top of that, it is the very same department as Lindsay Shephard's. Any help? Hints? tnx -

I was accepted at Laurier ( MA) and I was awarded a TAship. Since I have never Ta'ed I would like to hear from you who have this experience. I feel kinda anxious to picture me in front a classroom ! lol thanx !
-
I got in Laurier fully funded and at UNBC where I might be funded or at least get a TAship but nothing guaranteed. I read that Laurier is a "spoiled boys" school where they go pretty much to party. Also I read at McLean's that the guys love to work out ! Is that true? I am not worried about Lindsay Shephard mess and all, even though my dept. is the very as hers. Anyone have any word to give?
-
So... After much desperation, hopelessness and anger caused the back to back rejections finally the Calvary arrived and brought TWO ACCEPTANCES, ONE FULLY FUNDED ! Yeyyy! But I need advice ! Laurier is fully , completely funded o/ whereas UNBC is offering a TA with a one-year MA with possible direct entrance to PhD ( funded). Laurier would be at the same dept of Lindsey Shephard ( yeahh i know!). scary.. UNBC will be to correlate Inuit LGBTQ youth suicidal with newcomers'. ( both suffer from prejudice, racism, dire economic conditions ). what could we learn with 2 peoples from such distinct backgrounds but facing similar crisis? ( this is my project idea that was approved and as it involves a loooot of field research and literature review, they offered this PhD thing, DEPENDING obviously on my performance. ADVICE PLEASE !

does any of you guys know how the 2nd and 3rd choices decisions work at OISE ? Would they let everybody's 1st choice fill up and then maybe they call 2 and 3?

Hey, fellow Canucks ! So far no newzz whatsoEVER ! Like, I am sure that i won't make it to OISE, for instance. However, this lack of news always sparkles an irrational hope. As for the other ones, who knows.. But hey, cheer up ! Spring is about to set in
-
wow ! ! great plans ! !

Thank you for sharing these wise words. I am on the same boat: 4 applications and I deeply and honestly share the same feeling:I am expecting zero % invites. I cannot say that I take it softly, mainly bc the main reasons I expect this is prejudice - my Undergrad and Masters were in Brazil, even though I am a domestic applicant- and racism - I am Latino. And I also preparing myself to move temp to a new city but to a place I always wanted to go: The arctic polar circle, the land of the midnight sun, the city of Inuvik here in Canada. I would spend Spring and Summer and then head back south to...whatever life brings. Fall '19 applications ? Nah, hardly. Maybe I will be a Digital Nomad, travelling and telling people what it feels like to do what some of them always wanted to try but they have never had the guts to let go and fly. I will be living dream of and for those whose daily pain coming from a harsh rut is too heavy to bear. Reading my blog, they will be free, even if for a few minutes a day. If I succeed in this endeavor, then the failure in my applications will have turned into the greatest success so far in this short earthly lifetime of mine. But, in the meanwhile, let us both keep the faith, hoping for the best and expecting.... the " bestEST".

Bluntly put, they said " sorry, Canucks first". They seem to make clear that there are 2 kinds of applicants: Canadians... and the rest. Then again, this is my humble personal OPINION, I have no knowledge about this institution, let alone MJ. Good Luck !
-
indeed! i hope we will become classmates this Fall and go get a double double in the Tim's at Bloor near OISE lol

Wow ! I feel so relieved with your post ! So we are in ' da game' lol .. what university[ies] did you apply for?
-
Still no news whatsoever. Does anyone have heard/read anything from MA or Med in Counselling ? At OISE my 2nd choice is Social Justice. My fears dwell on the possibility that it is March and no news may lead to bad news. Any hits on this? Good luck to all !

Hi ! Thank you for both replies. Ik that 'under review' doesn't mean acceptance. But what I meant was that if did NOT have the proper prerequisites I would be probably disqualified before without review.
