Varsha Yelamanchi MBA 25

I chose UC Davis mainly because of its Biotechnology Immersion Program, which offers hands-on experiences connecting students directly to the biotech industry. The supportive environment for international students at the GSM was also a huge draw for me.

They assisted me with visa issues and made me feel welcomed even before I began my classes. This experience revealed the kind of caring and inclusive community I was becoming a part of.

Keerthana Hegde MBA 25

The main reason I chose UC Davis was for the "close-knit cohort".  I aim to forge genuine connections with every classmate, prioritizing depth over superficiality. This would not have been possible in a class of 200+ people.

Thankfully, my choice paid off, as I found myself amidst an exceptional cohort. Moreover, Davis's ambiance, radiating warmth and inclusivity, resonated with me. And let's not forget the proximity to the Bay Area, offering a myriad of professional opportunities to explore.
