I've applied to 20 Prelim/TY programs and was advised that you should have 7-8 interview invites by November 1st.

I have a couple, but nowhere near that number and it's nearly the end of October. I'm very concerned about having to SOAP/scramble for prelims.

Any advice on how to handle this? How would it look to add more programs at this point? Is contacting your #1 prior to an invite to reiterate interest frowned upon?
