CSM fine art ma interiew

I applied on 16 December and received an interview offer email yesterday. It feels a bit earlier than I expected, so I wanted to ask whether this is considered a positive sign. Roughly how many applicants are usually invited to interview?

Hi @emergency888
Great news to hear you were invited to interview! This is definitely a positive step as it means the course team is interested in your application and wants to learn more about you.

Interviews are offered on a rolling basis, so the timing doesn’t necessarily reflect the final outcome. The number of applicants invited to interview can vary by course and year, depending on things like competition and whether a portfolio is involved.
Final decisions are released later in the cycle (Round 1 outcomes by 20 March, and Round 2 by 19 June 2026), so for now the best thing to do is focus on preparing for the interview. Good luck! 😊
