The following schools conduct interviews by invitation only.

NYU - NYU intends to interview all admitted students. (chance of admission after interview - 90%)

Harvard - Harvard interviews about 20% of the applicants (over 50-60% of those interviewed will be admitted).

Columbia - Columbia interviews about 50% of the applicants.

For these schools, the ground rule is if you are not invited for interview, your chance of admission is very small (1%). (No news=bad news)
