> ugh how frustrating, Is it a small school you go to?
Not particularly. Just small with respect to grad students in my particular field. My uni is the 'place to go' (in NZ) for management, comp sci, evolutionary biology, math, and chemistry (according to the PBRF reports - which is taken very seriously. To do with publications or editorial involvement in (quality) peer reviewed journals, basically...)
> I dont know anythign about the way that tutoring works but dont they have to have two of you for a course?
Two of us for one of the courses.
Three of us for the other. But I am the 'head tutor' for that one. I am supposed to cover for the others - not the other way round. They won't take any of my tuts.>or are they small classes?
Not particularly. Though, to be fair it is psychology that pulls the big numbers in Arts and Social Sciences (maybe 300 in first year)... Nothing else does, really. Don't know the roll for this year... Last year the one I am head tutor for had 210 - we run 9 tutorial times. The other one has maybe 110 or something like that - and 8 tut times of which you have to attend 2.
> Keep trying for the US, if that is what you really want. Are there other schools you would consisder there?Nope. Not unless I can learn GRE math by osmosis. I am all done with US institutions. Applied to the only 2 that I would apply to (given the GRE thing). Nope. Australia is next on the list (though I am still waiting to hear on my other US application...)
> hang in there, soemthing will work out, becasue.... rain says it will :-)Yeah. I hope so. Just need a little faith...
