Ravi Teja Viswavarapu MBA 25

Raviteja Viswavarapu

I chose UC Davis because the Industry Immersion Program really appealed to me. I wanted an MBA experience that went beyond just classroom learning and provided opportunities to apply concepts in real business settings.

UC Davis GSM's industry immersion component will allow me to gain practical, hands-on experience working with companies and organizations.

The close cohort size was also very attractive. I preferred a smaller, more intimate class setting where I could really get to know my classmates and professors. The tight-knit community at UC Davis GSM will foster closer relationships and a more collaborative learning environment.

Location was definitely a major factor in my decision. Being in Davis puts me right in the Sacramento metro area, opening up potential internships and networking locally. But it's also not too far from the San Francisco Bay Area's vibrant tech scene. The prime location gives access to opportunities in multiple major business hubs.
