I was going to say the same thing. You can't be turned down for the job before you even interview since you were only turned down for an interview. Even then, I interview people for my company and I can tell you that with all the hundreds of applicants for each position, all it takes is something as dumb as walking in with sun glasses on your head for an interview to get bounced (actually happened). There is a good chance the OP was dinged for other reasons.
