Apply by Round 1 or 2 if you want money. The GMAT scholarship runs from RMB 40,000 at a Focus score of 595 up to full tuition at 715, and entry scholarships are decided among admitted students. Rounds close Oct. 8 and Nov. 15, 2026, and an early file gives you time to retake the test before April 30.
Take the test at a center. Fudan rejects online and home editions of the GMAT and GRE, for admission and for scholarships. If you've only taken the online GMAT, book a test-center sitting now.
The organizational chart is a quiet essay. It's the one document that shows where you sit and who reports to you, and there's no written essay to explain it on the public document list. Mark your box clearly and make sure your resume titles match it.
Know what you'd do with the second year. The MIT, Yale and Schulich second-degree options waive your second-year Fudan tuition, and 80.4% of 2025 graduates switched careers. If either is part of your plan, say so in the interview.
