_______________________________________________________________________________________________________I cannot guarantee that you will be assigned to work with the team members you designate (if any), nor on the projects you ranked at or near the top, nor in the roles/technical activities you ranked highest.  Many of you will pick the same attractive projects as your top ranked ones, and only a few can be assigned to them!  I will try to accommodate your preferences as well as I can, while assuring that all students have a project and that all teams are balanced as well as I can.
