Match Experience
Never could really pinpoint why or why not I got interviews except maybe some regional bias. I initially didn't get an invite to BCM but emailed and received one three days later. My biggest advice is to keep notes of the programs you interview at so when it comes time to ranking programs you can remember the details.
