You had me until you said you told them why you would not be able to provide a recommendation. What do you mean by that?

First impression is that a business card is not a normal thing for a HS senior to hand out. You CAN overdue the love, believe it or not. And you could come across as strange if you gave them a business card.

Also… your focus on the idea that the others at the presentation are come-latelies, and that your love for the school is more pure and worthy because you started earlier will not be perceived as healthy by the rep. They want to meet all interested students, and reach as many students as possible with their message. Some students start looking late, or discover a school late in the process. They are as entitled to admission as you are.

By all means attend. Typically they take some kind of attendance, so they will know you were there. If you can’t attend, stop by before or after to say a BRIEF hello to the rep, and just reiterate that you have visited and are really interested in the school. I wouldn’t mention the summer experience that didn’t happen,
