Takes time, but by building this kind of notoriety, UC Davis MBAs will continue to impress employers and do great things in the business world. Consulting UC Davis was a fabulous school that combined all the advantages of a top 20 school with the intimacy and personal attention you get at a small school. Anonymous Judging from the discussions I have had with my friends and family at other b-schools, the sense of community at Davis is unparalleled. The initial collaboration, teamwork, and familiarity developed into genuine concern for classmates. I was struggling with statistics and the night before the final, after my regular study group had disbanded, the two students who were setting the curve in the class showed up unannounced at my doorstep to help me study for the final.
Competition is good-natured and never cutthroat.
I attribute this to our small class size. The amount of diversity among such a small number of people is exceptional and very rewarding. Our faculty and staff are always available and know us personally. Our concerns and feedback about the curriculum were immediately addressed, and revisions were made for the subsequent class. I do not feel that our school's reputation or ranking is commensurate with the quality of our education.
