Assistantship Results

Assistantship results came in an email from Dr. Miles immediately after band today:

" We had 3 Graduate Teaching Assistant positions open this year and had 10 applicants for these positions.  I plead your case to the rest of the faculty as they discussed the strengths of their applicants as well.  At this time, you are first on the waiting list for a Graduate Teaching Assistantship should one of the other three reject our offers. "

Not as good as I had hoped, but it is highly possible that one of the three chosen applicants will take an assistantship somewhere else. I guess this means I will still be waiting for a final update.
