CPW same weekend as FIRST robotics nationals

Bad planning. My kid (accepted EA) really wanted to go to CPW, but he can't miss the robotics finals. He can't be the only kid in this predicament.

No conflicts with robotics club here (that I know of anyway. I ought to be a more organized secretary) but it does conflict with HOSA state competition and, after making nationals last year, I'm quite hesitant to skip state in favor of CPW...

CPW is April 12 - 15. The conflict is with the FIRST Robotics nationals. I think every high school robotics team would be doing this one - or wanting to!

For what it's worth, I didn't attend CPW (it conflicted with state finals for my winter guard). I went to visit MIT about two weeks later, and still had a great time and decided to come.

CPW is a great time to come because you can meet other prefrosh, learn about the different departments and UROPs available, and check out booths for all of the sports and activities. But if you just want to learn about the people at MIT, it's totally okay to come some other time.

I didn't go to CPW either and had no problem meeting people during orientation. The fact is that every weekend in the spring of senior year is busy and no weekend will work for everyone.

I look forward to meeting all of you that come and to the rest, hopefully I'll see you in the fall.
