Re: 2015 Waitlist Spots

Team 4276 got a waitlist spot invite yesterday, but we are going to turn it down due to lack of funding for the registration fee, and too many students have AP exams during that time frame to make it worthwhile. Even for the students that don't have exams, spending $5k to send a skeleton team to participate in another competition does not feel like the best use of our funds, which we would use instead to benefit the the entire team via summer projects and training.

Good luck in St. Louis!
