How Do Schools Make Interview Invite Decision?

[IUforever]

Hello,
I am just wondering how dental schools make decisions on
interview invites. They can either

1) review your application and then make a decision (one-by-one assessment)

or

2) review all the applications in a pile and then give out interviews to top ,say, 100 applicants?

I think it is a trivial matter but still it is a big difference cuz with option 1 you are not much competing with other applicants. As long as you have what the adcom likes to see in you, you are good.

so... which one?

I have no idea, but I imagine that it probably varies from school-to-school.
