Are there any other people in the 2016 SMART Cohort that have yet to conduct their security clearance interview? I'm graduating in May 2018 and I'm worried I won't have my clearance on time for work.

You should contact security (by phone, not email) of your SF to inquire. If you had to ever get an SF85 (like to do an internship / get a CAC) then they may just be holding off until they know what kind of information you'll need access too (this is my case).

However, facilities do hire people with pending investigations and you just get let go if you don't pass.

What level is your clearance? I asked about this, due to being abroad, and was told that only Top Secret needed an interview. My requirement was only secret, so I did not need an interview.

So you may want to check what level clearance you need.
