It must be first come first serve (there has to be some order!). May I know from the interview invitees what date they submitted their application?
I`m worried that it`s by region and industry - since they need to compare you to your peers, right? My theory is that as the apps come in they are sorted into buckets, and then each bucket is analyzed and sorted into the different admit/ding groups. I mean, that`s how I would do it. Doing it by order doesn`t make sense, what if you start giving interviews then see that much stronger candidates from that region/industry have submitted as well?
I read in Dee Leopold's webinar transcript -- kindly published by somebody
here -- that they indeed sort by industry.

Question: Do you have any recommendations about how the board looks at international applicants?
Leopold: We have a deep and strong admissions board that has seen applications from many countries and many schools. When you come in the door as an applicant, our way of sorting first is by the industry in which you work, not the country from which you come. We like to start with things you have chosen, not by chance. That’s our first organizing principle. No, it’s not as if we are deciding how many students we would like from a certain country. There are no targets or quotas.
