Where does it say 100 applicants per interview cycle?

It doesn't say that but it does have the "How many are admitted who were interviewed?" rate for applications logged on the site. It's in the additional statistics for Supporting Members section.

Any info on this?

I applied just a couple days before the deadline and was invited to interview on the 17th, so I don't think there is any correlation.

I’m wondering when will the directing program stop sending invitations. Feel like chances to get invited after this week are pretty unlikely.

I doubt it. It's best not to worry it seems like they go into detail with the applications so that will take time
