What are some schools that give you feedback on why you were rejected? Did you call the admissions office or email a specific person? I'm aware not all schools divulge this info, but have people had success with certain schools?
 
I know University of Cincinnati and maybe Duke do that if you request. Only know this because I interviewed at both these and that's what they said, so I'm sure there are others.
 
Subscribed -- this seems helpful

One of my friends got feedback from University of Iowa last year. I believe that she emailed them initially and then someone described where she could improve on the phone.
 
UWash - admissions dean will sit down with you and go over EVERYTHING with you
 
I was extremely lucky and had 0 rejections, but it was common practice at my undergrad for rejected applicants to call the admissions office and specifically try to get feedback directly from the interviewer (not always an option)
 
Let's start a list:

Duke
MSUCHM
SUNY Upstate
University of Cincinnati
University of Iowa
University of Washington
 
FIU HWCOM gave advice to me and my ex last year (via phone call) after we both got rejected (never got to interview there)

No other school gave me feedback

The dean of admissions at Creighton gave one of my friends tips on how she could post-interview (waitlisted).
