Hi Hope, congrats for the invitation, could you please share your geographical area? Thanks in advance! Corrado

Latin America. Actually received on Friday, but just seen it today.

Radio silence over here. I received my welcome packet and there's no mention of $$, so my hopes are not high. That said, I confirmed with several current students that scholarship/fellowships for first years are rare. The Sloan approach is different in that they offer well-paid TA positions for those that want/need financial assistance. These positions are mostly open to second year students - and some for 2nd semester first years. Also, there are merit scholarships for second year students who do well academically the first year. While this requires a bit more work on our parts, this system makes a lot of sense and seems fair.

Any other R2 applicants got invites? No news at all after my submission.

Since R2 invites have already started rolling out, is it bad to have not heard at all from the school till date? Is there hope if I still haven't heard? Are the interviews rolled out before dings? Anyone else stunned by the silence?

Hi purpleshirt, I know that scholarships are quite rare, but I ticked the "consider me for scholarships" box, so am still keeping fingers crossed - who knows! =) As for the TA positions, I know they pay around 18K/year. You would probably agree that's not the amount that really help to pay off the debt, and the competition to get one is said to be really tough. I also heard that there is 30% tax on all scholarships in the US. Do you know if this is true? Thanks!
