I chose UC Davis because their commitment to diversity mirrors my own, and because of the opportunity to work under many professors who understand what it takes to be successful in the high growth and ever-changing landscape we see in Silicon Valley. I strongly believe that when people from different backgrounds and experiences come together, then it fosters new ways of thinking which gradually leads to more innovation. The GSM here at UC Davis feels the same way and that is why it was an easy choice to come back to Davis!

At first, I was worried to join the MBA program at UC Davis, thinking I may not be good enough for the program. When I attended one of UC Davis' admission information sessions for prospective students, I met virtually with the ambassador who is very helpful and encourages me to apply and points out all the highlights at UC Davis. So I begin my application process, and everyone is really helpful and friendly; which really reflect the culture at UC Davis.

I researched a few local, including some higher-ranked universities. The UC Davis STEM MBA offers a unique, well-rounded, and excellent cross-industry immersive experience, enabling me with a cutting-edge global positioning, especially among Bay Area companies. The San Ramon location was more convenient than Berkeley or San Francisco. Furthermore, I liked the overall experience I got from the student ambassadors, the world-class faculty, and the admissions team and attending some sample classes.

While shortlisting business schools, proximity to the bay area, tech focus and a strong community were my key criteria. When talking to students, alumni and admissions, I felt a sense of warmth and belonging. UC Davis GSM’s distinctive culture stood out as the clear differentiator! UC Davis GSM is one of the few business schools that lives by its defining principles. I knew that at UC Davis GSM I would find accomplished yet humble and supportive peers and a welcoming community.
