Tsinghua GMAT for International Students?

Theres not too many people from thailand in china or beijing, so as long as your work experience and essays are fine, your application should be ok

Thank you! . It seems like you know a lot about the country, and can I ask more about university in China?

I did research on some schools like CEIBS, Peking Guanghua, Fudan, amd Jiaotong. I found that CEIBS is very competitive but may not have a very strong community, especially from people from my country. For Peking, it is very great school with great brand except the fact that it only offer 2 years program (which I find it a bit too long). Fudan and Jiaotong have a perfect duration and location though the brands are quite lower than those in Beijing.

From your opinion what are the best schools in China rather than Tsinghua for MBA that have a good networking, brand, and timing (less than 1 year)?

there are no programs that are less than one year. the least you can do is a one year program.

what exactly is your point of doing an MBA, and why an MBA in China? MBAs are not really that popular in China, and usually if people get them, the degree is from America. there is nothing wrong with fudan or jiaotong, both perfectly fine, mid tier MBAs. CEIBS is a joke

My bad. I wrote it wrong. I tried to say "less than 2 years", so 1 year or 16-18 months are okay for me.

I am 25 years old and working at my own family business in Thailand and will come back to work here after the MBA. So my goals for MBA are less about finding jobs but more about
- Overall business skills to expand business (sure if not why MBA?)
- Learn Chinese language and culture (we have a lot of business to do with Chinese, but I can't speak it)
- Family (My family all originated from China and we currently have cousins in China)
- Connections from both Chinese and students from my country. (This point makes me think less about CEIBS since not many people from my country actually graduated from this school, while a lot of people study at Tsinghua or Peking)

I am quite surprise when you said CEIBS is a joke. Can you explain me a bit more of why? (since according to the world ranking, CEIBS is in a very top position for MBA schools in China)

And when you said fudan or jiaotong are mid tier MBAs, so what about Tsinghua and Peking? Are they high tier or just mid tier as well. Really appreciate your answers

CEIBS is one of those schools that looks strong on paper, like INSEAD, but it's mostly just metric engineering. CEIBS ranks well because they have stuff like a high percentage of international students, small class sizes, good employment rates post MBA... but this is all rather weak stuff in my opinion. the only thing that really matters for an MBA imo is ROI from an objective standpoint, and prestige from a subjective standpoint. no one in china knows what CEIBS is, probably because it isn't a real university, it is a 'graduate business school'. in comparison, Tsinghua is the best university in China period, and everyone in the country knows it

I think for your goals, tsinghua would be fine. as i said earlier, MBAs are not super popular in china (though maybe increasing in popularity slightly), so the 'rankings' are quite thin, are essentially

1. Tsinghua
1b. Beida
2. Fudan
3. everything else

actually, HKUST in Hong Kong is probably a better MBA program than Tsinghua, but it's slightly more expensive, and it's not really a 'chinese' university

Thank you for your time. It gives me a lot of insights. Really Appreciate!

good luck king
