Funny they did not mention anything financial at the AdMIT weekend. No word over here about fellowship/scholarships. One thing I noticed is that they fund A LOT of travel and student-led projects (action-learning labs), which is something other schools don't do. Consequently, I think they move scholarship budget to fund these activities.

What do you mean by "fund"? Do they buy you the tickets? =)

My understanding is yes. See this article about China Lab, as an example. https://mitsloanblog.typepad.com/ted/200 ... -labs.html "Your airfare and hotel are paid by MIT." Did you attend this past AdMIT weekend? Current students who participated in the different labs (and other projects, both domestic and internationally) are able to get school funding and course credit for things they are interested in doing. "Treks" to visit companies on the other hand are funded by students.

i received my invite yesterday. F/27/4 years WE/Seattle.

Does anyone know if someone is denied admission, when will the denials be sent? Close to the decision day? Have not got invite ... so most probably it is a ding But Sloan... please let me know earlier so that i don't go through this agony every day

I suspect it'll just be radio silence from now through the deadline if you're getting dinged. I share the same anxiety, unfortunately...but best of luck!

Has anybody from Asia received the interview call?

Even I am waiting to know this. on BTG, I noticed 2 applicants who say "India" as their location have received invites. Not sure if they are currently residing in India or abroad.
