Chalk it up to "yield protection". Schools will be conservative at this time of year and make offers to just the superstars. After they have some idea of how the rest of the pool shakes out, the offers will come to the second tier applicants. This is the flip side of why it is safe to interview later in the year and not be interviewing for the waitlist... if you rise to the top when a decision day rolls around, you will be skimmed from the top and made an offer. Schools rush to interview the superstar candidates early in the season before they start getting offers and start being more picky about who they'll interview with. Once they're skimmed from the list, the mere mortals rise to the top. Don't lose heart.
And if you want Georgetown, send a love letter (I mean, a letter of interest). That school is a safety for one group of applicants, a lifestyle choice for others, and a reach for a third group. G'town practices yield protection by not offering admission to those who might be using it as a safety or who aren't interested after visiting and hearing about the G'town philosophy and mission.
