What are your general comments?

Michigan is a very welcoming community. They are very enthusiastic and make you feel comfortable. The interview day is as follows: Presentation by director (Ruiz), presentation on computers/technology, financial aid stuff, 3 interviews (30 min each), lunch, tours, done. The interview kids are split into two groups (A and 1), and the other group interviewed before computer presentation. The interviews, themselves, are very relaxed. They want to get to know you better.
