MFA Interview Freakout Help Question

[willow j]

Hi! 

I applied to 8 MFA programs. I have been granted interviews from 4 of them so far, as a finalist. I have been accepted to two and am still waiting on the others. I have had 3 interviews so far, all skype.

 

I am wondering how much weight does the 15 minute skype interview actually have? How much does it affect your chances? 

What are the most important factors in a school's decision? Is it the overall application (statement, portfolio, recommendations) or does the interview have a significant spot in determining the decision?

 

Help! I'm freakin' out 

 

Thank you!!!
