Ambassador School Selections

Please indicate which schools you intend to take primary responsibility for as well as any secondary preferences. Negotiate as required. Nothing is fixed in stone.

general remarks

I think it doesn't make sense for me to fill in my name in some random american schools, since it doesn't really make a difference for me if I end up with Duke or Penn state. We have to see how many european schools participate, to see how much of your presence is required there. Otherwise, i'd also like to see Japan jonas 10:53, 25 Feb 2006 (EST)

I'm certainly willing to take one of the European schools, but as there are nearly no schools from Europe yet (I really hope this is going to change), I'm also perfectly happy with travelling a little further. I'd very much like to go to Asia (especially Japan), and I'd also do some schools from America (and Canada), if there are too many schools for too few US ambassadors. Tamara 10:11, 26 Feb 2006 (UTC).

I am prepared to cover as many North American schools as necessary but will probably act mainly as a secondary for european schools. Dibs on Singapore, though. --Ahessel 12:38, 27 Feb 2006 (EST)

I guess that for new continental european schools, we just put in our names (the ETH guys), without setting prejudices who actually takes these teams. I did this for Ljubljana. jonas 16:41, 1 March 2006 (EST)

I am very flexible. It makes sense for Jonas, Tamara and me to do European schools. For me, a special preference would be NCBS Bangalore. -- Robin

I'd really like to see Montreal and Toronto! I wonder if we could coax any teams out of Australia/NZ (not to mention more European schools)...I heard they have some great engineering programs there but I'm not so sure about their biology programs? -- Melissa Li

We have space for people to crash if they want to visit Toronto. :) --Ahessel 20:35, 21 March 2006 (EST)

Can this go away now? We can add ourselves directly to primary school list. Doesn't seem to be much value in choosing backups. Looks like we'll all have to cover for each other. --Ahessel 20:53, 21 March 2006 (EST)
