Does anyone has some insight into how competitive TUCOM-Mare Island is? If you get an interview what are your chances of acceptance? Should you take the early admission offer considering you might not get in if you go on a later interview?

=============================
It seems like most schools have a preference for in-state applicants, and TUCOM-MI is no exception. Not only does TUCOM-MI interview a higher percentage of applicants from in-state, they also accept a higher percentage of interviewees from in-state.
It seems that if you do get an interview, chances are you will most likely be accepted, especially if you're in-state.
