Summary of Application Experience
No rhyme or reason why one school really wants you and another doesn't even interview you. In this case, IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S THEM. My top choice school took me SUPER early, told me at the interview in October not to worry b/c I'd be in (accepted me a week later), and schools that aren't as good and/or well known wouldn't interview me, there's no logic to it.
