Editor's notes

This is a part-time MBA for experienced managers, not a career-switch year. The average student is 35 with 12.7 years of work, and more than a third have 16 years or more. If you have three or four years, you'll meet the minimum but sit at the young end of the room.
Get out of the written test if you can. A GMAT above 600, a master's degree, an English-taught bachelor's or foreign nationality sends you straight to interview. Everyone else spends the morning on management analysis and an English essay before interviewing in the afternoon.
Prepare for two interviews, not one. You'll be interviewed individually in English and again in Chinese. The English one matters more than it looks, since the classes are taught in English and half or more of the faculty are foreign.
Aim for an early batch. Admission scholarships are awarded by overall ranking, and later batches in June leave little time before the August start. Watch the iMBA news page for the batch 1 registration deadline; last year it closed nine days before the exam.
