Is it necessary to apply for an early interview? Can I apply for only one batch or all six batches?

A: In principle, any applicant who applies for the SJTU Antai Tech-Finance MBA program is required to attend the early interview. If you are not eligible for pre-admission based on the minimum score set by the state after the early interview, you can apply for the regular interview after the announcement of the entrance examination result. If you are not in the name list for an early interview, your background assessment score will be compared with that of other applicants later on, and you may be allowed to have the next round of early interview.

If I'm on the early interview name list but fail to get the pre-admission eligibility in the end based on the minimum score set by the state, and my entrance examination score reaches the minimum score for re-examination, then in case of the regular interview, do I still need to complete the application information online for the interview?

A: If you apply for an MBA program of the same year, then you do not need to file the application information online anymore, but you should apply whether you will attend the regular interview which is subject to confirmation. If you apply for a regular interview, the interview result will be dependent on your regular interview result; if you don't apply for a regular interview, the result of the early interview will prevail.

For the scanned copy of originals required to be uploaded for early interview, is it required to be stamped by the HR department?

For example, no company stamp is required for the organization chart; in addition to the salary certificate issued by the company, equivalent salary proofs such as tax payment certificate and provident fund payment certificate can also be used instead of the salary certificate. The background check will be held at the stage of pre-admission, which means when the pre-admission name list is determined, which is often in April - June, we may check your information with your HR head or your referee(s). Once the materials submitted by the applicant are found to be false, we reserve the right to cancel his/her eligibility for admission and academic registration.
