[quote=Anonymous][quote]The other aspects that you are missing about high school students is that their activities tend to have lots of built-in incentives not to skip a session. If you miss practice then you will not play in the game. If you don't play in the game and we lose, you let your team down. If you don't attend this club meeting and you are in X position, you will lose it or we can't plan X activity. The parents play into this too.[/quote]

That's all well and good, but that doesn't mean that OP needs to buy into the bullshit.  If I was in her position, and a prospective student sent me an e-mail suggesting one day to meet because she's simply too busy to do any other time, asking in a fairly rude manner whether she "had to meet with me in person," I don't think I'd react favorably.  Even less so when she complained about the times I suggested.  Maybe it's something you pick up on later, but it seems self-evident to me that the person asking for the meeting, who needs something from the other person, is required to show a little flexibility (and courtesy).
