There’s a on point thread on SDN with responses from 2 adcoms
http://■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■/threads/potential-for-interviews-beyond-today-week-of-11-11.1107366/

OP background: I applied to 28 schools with strong stats (3.9/36 from a top Engineering University) with cookie-cutter ECs. So far I’ve had 5 IIs (1 acceptance, YAY) and 5 rejections.The rest of my schools are mostly top 40 schools but I haven’t heard back at all from them. At this point, should I call it and not really expect any more IIs,…

Goro responded: It depends upon your numbers relative to the other applicants, and how fast the Admissions staff can make their way down the pile to yours.

LizzyM resposned: You’ve had 5 interviews and have at least one acceptance. Acknowledge that the rest are silent rejections, not because there is anything wrong with you but that the schools just don’t have the resources (space, time, faculty) to interview every well qualified applicant and they need to make hard choices. Once you’ve accepted that you are done for the quarter, you may be pleasantly surprised by a few more interviews but you’ll enjoy life more if you just accept that your cycle is over and move on.

I interpret the above posts to mean there is still hope, but with the one acceptance, why torture oneself needlessly…
