does that mean you got the interview or no? or you are just waiting for a spot to open?

Waitlisted for interview means that you are in a waitlist, not that you got an interview  Im in the same situation and im not really familiar with this process, if someone has more info about that, stats, real experience.... let me know! Also, how close to the interview's day could we get contacted if a spot opens up?
