Varsha Yelamanchi MBA 25

Varsha Yelamanchi

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.
