CSM online interview tips?

I just got an interview w csm after already submitting the 15 page mini portfolio,, it's supposed to last 10-15 minutes does anyone have advice for preparing your full portfolio? is it better to keep it short with so little time or put in a lot more pages of process and whatnot? worried about getting lost in the sauce lol..since it's not a lay it all out on the table situation like in-person would be
Hi !! Congrats on your interview invitation. Can I just ask you how long it takes to get an interview invitation after you submitted the portfolio?

Hey guys.
I have my interview tomorrow and I’m not sure how to feel. Haha! I applied for MA Fashion Communication: Fashion Journalism 2023, and I got my interview invitation about a week after application.

I’d have asked if anyone had tips, but I’m not sure I’d get a response before my interview tomorrow. I’m an international student, so wish me luck!

Hi! Sorry it took so long for me to reply, i coudn't find my login lol, it took maybe 3 weeks to a month to get an invitation, and then it was scheduled for another 3 weeks out? So it seems to vary!

good luck, rooting for you! I think the only advice we can all give ourselves at this point is believe in yourself <3<3!!
Haha! Thank you so much!
Literally got my offer on the spot. Lol.
We didn’t even go long into the conversation.

I think he was just very impressed by my online portfolio and the number of publications I have written for, coupled with my experience in fashion designing.
The offer mail came in this evening.

He was just concerned about my tuition, asked me a little about African fashion, stopped me while I spoke and said “you know what? I’m gonna stop you right there. We want you at CSM.” Lmao!
Real gag is that I have a BA in Agriculture and graduated with a 2.2. 💀

I'd say focus on showing a strong variety of work, ideally from the work you sent in your mini portfolio– with more pages showing how you got from point A to point B. From there in the interview talk about the project you feel the strongest about and if you have some time left skim over the rest showing what else u can do :3, hope this helps
