At many of the fairs we have in the Bay Area they pretty much require you to pre-register so they can accommodate the crowds with seating, refreshments and brochures. Were you asked to pre-register for this fair?<br /><br />Of course, you already know that one of the reasons that we don’t have many of those east coast schools come out our way is economics. They have to make calculated decisions based on their own history asking themselves if the number of applicants they get is worth the expense of sending a recruiter out on tour. Of course, you could easily respond that if they sent out a recruiter so people might know about them, maybe they’d have more applicants.<br /><br />I’m sorry that you got saddled with someone difficult to work with. That can make your efforts very stressful. The saving grace for you is that at least your grade isn’t dependant on what your team puts together. One of our Hotelies at Cornell had a similar problem where ten minutes prior to their presentation one of her teammates refused to go along with what they had put together. Their class was graded for college credits. I have to credit her for not shedding any blood over that incident.Don Gosneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17110247579694408858noreply@blogger.com
