Might be because Sloan has info sessions around Asia in October. If they send out interview invites now, they can do the interviews within the same trip as the info sessions

That makes somewhat sense.
On the other hand - in the last year's no invitations have ever been sent out earlier than 4 weeks after the application deadline. We are still 2 weeks from that. Seems a bit weird to me. Why would they send out applications so much earlier this year?

Yeah, this is probably an intentional change to make the process more efficient on their end. Last year, the info sessions in Asia were held in August. I found it really weird that they scheduled their info session after their Round 1 deadline here in my country (all other US B schools had it June-Aug). They likely had to balance scheduling the info session early enough to attract R2 applicants and making it late enough so that they have time to evaluate applications. I'm guessing they prioritized Asia based apps first to do this (sort of a halfway point between the traditional model and the rolling evaluation process used by Columbia).
