Does getting an earlier invitation for interview (same course, same college) imply you have a stronger application? Why is it that some people hear back from the colleges earlier than others?

You can never really tell tbh. As long as it wasn't an absolute failure I'm sure you'll be alright.

Definitely not a stronger application I don't think. It really depends on the college, and even then different subjects get told at different times.
I'm reapplying (long story) and last year I got an interview on 8th Nov and had it on the 5th Dec, whereas as one of my friends applied earlier than I did and didn't hear until really late November (I think maybe 27th, 28th) for an interview on the 10th.
Honestly I wouldn't worry about not hearing - they'll reject you or accept you at pretty much the same time as they do everyone else in the college for the same subject.
