Second Interview?

in Reed College
Hi everyone, I interviewed with Reed three months ago, when they came to my area. I really enjoyed it and it definitely influenced my decision to apply Early Action. Well, I recently received an email from them that basically said
"Dear [redacted],
Reed admission counselors are hitting the road for our winter interviews and you're invited to meet with us."
And then it listed cities, etc. I got another one with a similar message yesterday, too. Should I do another interview? I can't really tell if this is one of those situations where they try to see if I have continued interest or if it's just some sort of automated message, you know? Also, on their website, it says they can only offer one interview per applicant, so honestly I'm just confused, haha. Anyways, any response would be much appreciated, thank you! Good luck to everyone

Replies to: Second Interview?
I also interviewed a few months ago and got the same email recently. I am of the strong belief that they just send out mass emails to their mailing list, without much other discrimination. There have been other Reed related events I have attended and then got invited to a few months later. Their email software does not seem to be particularly complex.
I know this is quite a bit later, but I hope it is still helpful! I would definitely not sign up for another interview unless something in your life has drastically changed and you feel the need to sit down with an admissions officer to explain it.
