Navigating Your Future Success: Why You Should Schedule a Personal Consultation

Elevate your application with one-on-one personal advisor

You've researched graduate business programs, compared options and found the UC Davis Graduate School of Management is the best fit for you.

However, you might still have questions, need more personalized insights, or simply want to connect with an expert who can guide you through the admissions process. That's why scheduling a personal consultation with our admissions team is a valuable next step.

We’re here to help.

Consider these key advantages to a personal consult:

1. Your B-school Guide

Your academic and professional background is unique, and so are your goals. A personal consultation with an admissions director will give you the opportunity to have a one-on-one conversation to discuss your ambitions, finances and get answers to all your questions..

Some applicants make the mistake of “casting a wide net” when applying to graduate schools to increase acceptance chances. However, that approach may lead prospective students to apply to programs that do not fit their best needs. A personal consultation will eliminate a time-consuming misstep and instead allow you to create a customized strategy based on your background and qualifications.

2. Craft Your Narrative

Stepping into the application process for grad school can be overwhelming. Meeting with an admissions director can help you navigate each element of your application, from transcripts and resume to recommendation letters and essays so you can put your strongest application forward.

They can help you align your strengths with the program's values and requirements, ensuring that your application showcases your best self.

Whether you're uncertain about which program aligns with your goals or seeking advice on how to highlight your experiences, the admissions director's insights can be instrumental in refining your approach. Our admissions directors can help you identify the skills, qualities and experiences that can make a great application narrative.

3. Make Connections

A personal consultation isn't just about getting your questions answered. It's an opportunity to establish a connection with the UC Davis Graduate School of Management and our collaborative community. Building this rapport can be beneficial throughout your application process.

Should you join our community as a student, you’ll be able to take advantage of UC Davis’s close-knit community of diverse learners and world-class faculty experts, corporate partners, and a supportive and collaborative alumni network.
