Nope. I will mail them today and ask. Part of my mind has started thinking about the possibility that there was no scholarship or anything else to convey, hence this lack of communication from the school.

Not a good thought.
:(

Let's not be so pessimistic. I really want to go to Olin. But if they don't give me a scholarship, I can't. But let's not think about that. Olin has a pretty good scholarship fund according to poets and quants

Same here mate! Let's see what they reply to my mail. Will keep the thread updated.

The formal decision packet has been emailed. Looks like I have not received any scholarship.
Any of you who have received scholarships, could you please mention on which page of the letter is it displayed?
Thanks!

Weird. Me and one more person I know hasn't received scholarship. Also it is mentioned in FAQ in the letter that if one received a scholarship it is mentioned in the admit letter itself or a letter is attached to the admit mail. Tough luck and very unusual for Olin.

Although it has been mentioned in the FAQ, I have still written back to them asking them to clarify this considering there has been an overall delay.

The time just before you start your MBA education. For instance, you got 3.5 years of experience now, but you plan on starting your school next year in August, then you will count it until July, so you will have something like 4.2 years.

Sorry to hear that, maybe try to negotiate a bit? Start a conversation with Evan or their financial aid office, don't be demanding but explain why it would be a win-win situation for both you and Olin and try to get something?
