The USIC schedule really is a problem for HS seniors. It seems to always be in graduation week. I believe the reason for scheduling it that week is strictly the availability of the ETSU site. Maybe someday it will change.

I'm sending this for the second time due to an email bounce. I apologize if it comes thru twice.

  As a father to 4 boys here in Florida (they all build but the oldest
  really has it in his blood) I am very disappointed that the USIC is
  always held during finals week. All of them had new models....
  Bostonians, HLG, BLG scale ...and we couldn't go.
  The school system does it this way to keep the kids in school.
  If I am the only one in this situation apologize for whinning. But I
  have to let it out!
