Please ignore the status, anyone gets interview invite from MIT?

One faculty member sent email to schedule a 25min interview

Applied to CogSci area (studying with Professor. R.S. has been a long-time dream of mine.... Goodbye to my dream PI and school) MS in Brain and Cognitive Sciences, one first-author publication, two co-authors publications, several poster presentations 4 yrs of research experience, 9 yrs of volunteering experience, first-generation college student

Informed by email. Have a quantitative MS w/ 4.0 GPA.

I got a rejection from one of the PI that I discussed in my SOP. Is that normal? Does it mean that they recognize me in some way but can't offer a seat because of the highly selected pool? Should I reach out for opportunities?

Interviewed with a POI in December and got an email from POI 2 days later saying they are going to consider other candidates. Not surprised about the rejection since the POI was the only one in BCS I wanted to work with.
