We have had fewer TA resignations for Fall than usual. Unfortunately this means that there have been fewer recent openings than usual, and so the TA situation has not changed since the last posting. Specifically --- with the exception of one or two positions that require an advanced background in a particular topic --- all the TA positions for Fall are filled. There's still a small chance we will have one or two positions open up before or at the start of classes, but even if this happens there are still a large number of students in the application pool; so any one applicant's chance of getting a TA offer for Fall is very small.
The situation for Fall is anomalous. There are a number of students in the TA application pool who would normally have gotten a TA offer but who did not. We should be able to make offers to at least some of these people for Spring 2013 (the Spring offer process will start in November). Students who applied for a Fall 2012 TA do not need to reapply to be considered for Spring 2013.
