I wouldn't read too much into it. #1 - it doesn't help you at all and if anything can down your psyche when you need it the most to shine during an interview and #2 - faculty know they can't always get their top most pick just like applicants can't always get their top most pick they apply to.
Just do your job and shine on the interview, just like you would have done if you were selected first. Give them a reason to show they'd love having you in their program. You'd be amazed by how some of our top applicants, weren't so top once we see how they behaved on interview day.
