The system will greatly improve the application efficiency of candidates, and placing Tongji MBA in the leading position in terms of reforms and moves in admission. Meanwhile, “innovative”, “entrepreneurial”, and “expert” applicants will be granted eligibility for interviews directly. As to the international dual-degree program, the “zero wish list” is still in effect, in which the applicants shall not apply for domestic MBA programs of Tongji if he or she is granted the admission after the interviews, and vice versa.
