Round 3 applicant here. Got admitted in late April. I applied to several schools in China (Fudan, BiMBA, and Tsinghua as well). I visited Fudan. I chose CEIBS over the listed schools. I couldn't visit Beijing and I never been there, so my decision has a bit of 'gamble' risk to it. Nonetheless, I have been to Shanghai several times and I consider it my next home
My background: I will take the pre-course Mandarin next month. My Mandarin casual conversation is very good. I can type pinyin and read characters a lot more than listening, which is something I need to develop. My career background is in sales (5 years) for a manufacturing company in the US. I got a 650 in GMAT.
Anyways, to those that have matriculated to the school, I look forward seeing you all there.
