I’m currently a high school senior in california. I’ve been to Shanghai twice, and i really loved it. Recently i’ve been sorting out my college list, even though i was only going to apply to california schools, i was thinking about applying to Fudan University as well. The thing is, my grades are decent now but they were pretty bad in the past, so that pulled down my overall GPA. If i stay here, I’d probably be a match for something like LMU, but I’ve heard that it’s a lot easier for international students to get in Chinese Universities. Rather than staying here and attending a more average school, would it be better to go to Fudan if i can get in? I can speak and write mandarin fluently, I like Shanghai a lot (planning on moving there after college anyways) and i’ve lived in Asia for a pretty long time before moving to cali so i’m pretty sure i can get used to living there. But then again, i don’t want to miss out on the whole “college experience” in the states, so i’m not sure…any suggestions?
