Post your stats and what schools you applied to

Plenty... I've seen some perennial interviewers - their names would show up on the lists of interviewees for three years in a row - and they wouldn't get in. Numbers depend on the school, but the rule of thumb is to interview 3-5 times more candidates than you have spots, to allow for a good selection and account for people who will get multiple offers and choose not to accept yours. So while getting an interview is a very good sign, it's not a formality before a guaranteed admission. 60-80% chance of being rejected after an interview.
