Attended the Los Angeles information session last night. The alumni were out in full force: there were almost 25 alums present across a variety of interests. I met someone who did exactly what I wanted to do (energy g-lab, courses across MIT, rotational utility program in SoCal) so I can't imagine a better program for me than MIT (except maybe Haas). I hope I can convey that well in my cover letter.

I attended both the admissions chat and Sloan on the Road yesterday, and here is some info I learned:
There are LOTS of involved Sloan alumni in SF - there were 30+ at the event
All parts of admissions are handled by adcom professionals
Last year, 4125 applicants for ~ 400 spots. 11 % admit rate. 18-19% of apps were invited to interview, so interview invite is relatively selective.
The interview is not blind, and they often seek to answer questions about your weaknesses.
Applications are put onto a scatter plot with 2 axes, demonstrated success and leadership potential. They then continue with the points that are toward the upper right of the graph. This implies that applicants' merits are quantified. I'd assume that many more schools do this, but this is the first time I've heard this publicly instead of the typical "holistic review" answer.
