Just got an interview request from CU Boulder!!

Just got an interview invite for MassArt's 2D program! 
Was sent through email.

OMG, I hope so:) GOOD LUCK?

MassArt 2D/3D interviews are sent 

Just got accepted to SVA fine art! But with very little funding (maybe because I’m international?) Has anyone heard from Columbia or Calarts? Saw someone posting in another forum about receiving interview from calarts film/video and I’m getting a little anxious...

I didn’t want to get too excited but, like, they couldn’t possibly do this for every applicant right? Why would they waste their time generating one for everyone? Then again this is my first time applying so I really don’t know the protocol. But I’m sending good energy into this haha MANIFEST THAT SHIT. 

I would interpret this as a really good sign. 

Just had my interview with Portland State for the MFA in Studio Practice.
It was scheduled for 15 minutes, but we talked for 30 minutes. Hopefully that's not a bad thing. 
The questions they asked (for anyone with an interview soon and are wondering how it will go):
Why do you want to go to graduate school? Why now?
Are you open to experimenting and breaking out of your comfort zone with your work?
Can you tell me about your current creative concepts?
Where do you see your art progressing in the future?
Are there any projects, books or films that have inspired you and your work?
What contemporary artists are you interested right now?
Why have you chosen to apply to this institution/program?
Are you open to working on projects outside of the University?
They also opened the floor to any questions that I had for them.
Hope this is helpful!

This is what I was asked for Portland State's interview for MFA in Studio Practice:

Are you open to experimenting and breaking out of your comfort zone with your work?
Can you tell me about your current creative concepts?
Where do you see your art progressing in the future?
Are there any projects, books or films that have inspired you and your work?
What contemporary artists are you interested right now?
Why have you chosen to apply to this institution/program?
Are you open to working on projects outside of the University?
They also opened the floor to any questions that I had for them.
Hope this is helpful!

They scheduled each for 15 minutes, which is kind of short. But we ended up being on the phone for 30 minutes.

Had an interview with Central Saint Martins (Painting) yesterday and was offered a place after the interview. Still waiting to hear back from loads of other schools...

I just got my first interview request from Boston University! 

Just got an interview invite for MICA Sculpture!! 

Thanks for the advice Karisjns and Kvir! :-) 

I definitely would!

If I had a dollar for every time I opened my gmail over the past few days, I could afford another round of application fees.
