Doing some math on this, it seems possible but not likely that there will be another round of Boston interviews sent out.

Roughly 1800 applicants a year
~10% of classes are US citizens (Employment Reports | MIT Sloan)
~1/3 applicants receive interviews (Master of Finance FAQs | MIT Sloan School of Management)
~Expected # of US citizen interviews ~= 1/3 * 1/10 * 1800 = 60 (Assuming all these probabilities are independent which they probably aren't)

I can't remember if there were other US cities offered, but I'd assume most US citizens would incline to interview in Boston. Also, quantnet probably only represents a small portion of total applicants, maybe 5-10%, and there were already 5 unique interviewees I could gather from this thread. (5/0.075 ~= 67). Depends on how many of those selected are US citizens.

These calculations are pretty rough, but are a decent ballpark estimate.
