Re: Deferring Exam to go to Atlanta?
Most of the mentors of team 190 have to reschedule at least one of their finals to attend our first regional in Manchester. The best strategy from what I've found is to make sure the professor knows as far in advance as possible, then make sure the professor knows you are flexible. If you are mentoring through UW, have the faculty member you are working through write you a letter to let the prof know its legitimate. If you are going through a school, have the teacher write you a "note" on official letterhead.
The most important thing is to make sure the professor knows what the situation is as soon as possible and you need to be as flexible as possible. In my experience at WPI, no professor has refused to reschedule an exam if notified ASAP.
