Leveraging acceptance?

I was accepted at a school that I really like. However, I was hoping to secure an interview at a second school and thus far it has not come. Is it acceptable/commonly done to write a LOI to the second school stating that I was accepted at the first school but I had a tremendous amount of interest or thought that your school was my first choice?

These schools are very close to one another. Do the adcoms talk? I dont want the school that accepted me (which I like) to think Im not interested in their school or that Im using their acceptance to get something else.

Any advice?

Just send the school a letter of interest without mentioning the other school.
