We are currently only accepting online applications. Before each deadline, the applicant must complete the online application as well as submit copies of various supporting documents.
We are currently recruiting 60 students for the 2012 intake.

The deadlines to submit interview applications are as follows:

*Please note improved opportunities for admission and scholarships in early rounds

Supporting Documents:

• Copy of your university diploma
• At least two recommendation letters (instructions are in the online application)
• Official copy of a university transcript
• Official GMATscore report (to be sent to the school through the test center, using GMAT code 60D-KJ-39 if you have completed the test and the result is available)
• Two passport size photos
• A photocopy of your application fee receipt (RMB 800 or $120 USD)
• Training Accreditation Materials
• Awards/Honors Certificates
• Declaration Form

1. Conditional Offer

Alternatively, applicants without a GMAT score can still submit their applications and attend the admissions interview. If the Admissions Committee decides to give an applicant a conditional offer, he/she must provide a GMAT score no later than March 31, 2012 if applying in the Early Round and July 31, 2012 if applying in the Regular Round in order to convert the conditional offer into a full offer. 

2. First Selection and Reference Check
Once your application is completed, the MBA Admissions Office will review your application and verify the recommendation letters, degree certificate, and academic transcript you provided. If everything is satisfactory, you will be notified by email once we approve the interview invitation.

3. Interview
The interview panel is composed of CKGSB MBA faculty, alumni and staff. The interview serves two purposes. It will evaluate the applicant to determine suitability for admission to the CKGSB MBA class and it will determine whether you are offered a scholarship. Interviews are held in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.

The CKGSB MBA Admission Interview is composed of three parts:

• Group case discussion
• Panel interview
• Career consultation 

4. Review & Decision
The MBA Admissions Board reviews your interview results, compares them with other applicant interviews, and makes their decision. You will be advised by both regular mail and e-mail of the decision shortly after the interview (normally within two weeks). The decision can either be an offer, conditional offer, rejection, or entry onto the waiting list. Scholarship decisions will be made in conjunction with admission decisions.
All candidates are welcome to seek feedback from the admissions office after their interview.

5. Confirmation & Registration Fee
After being admitted, applicants will have two to four weeks to make their decision on whether or not to accept the offer. If you decide to accept, a registration fee of RMB 30,000 must be paid in order to confirm your place.

Reapplication & Deferral
Reapplication
In some cases, we may encourage applicants to re-apply in later years. Reasons include limited work experience, limited management responsibility, or weak GMAT scores. To re-apply, you must complete a new application but will not be required to re-submit recommendation letters, academic transcripts, official certificates, and GMAT score unless there has been a significant change. The application fee is required with each application.

Deferral
Due to the highly competitive nature of admissions, all offers are valid only for a specific academic year. Applicants may submit an application for deferred admission if there is a need; however, scholarship and financial aid offers can't be deferred.
Starting from 2009, deferrals will only be granted to those with cases of serious medical emergencies or pregnancies. Relevant medical supporting documents must be provided in order to confirm the claims. Application for deferral must be submitted into the Admissions Office no later than August 1, 2011.   

Alumni Support
To help you make an informed decision, we would be happy to refer you to an alumnus or current student with a background similar to yours who can share his or her experience at CKGSB. We encourage you to seek out this support.
