Davis MBA Student Shares Experience
Amber Lewis is a full-time MBA student at the UC Davis Graduate School of Management. She will graduate this spring from the program.

The median GMAT scores and GPA earned by students in the Full-Time MBA program at Davis are 690 and 3.18. The second reason why she enjoys the program is the community that is created among the students and the faculty.

In regards to her educational experience at Davis, Lewis specifically comments on the consulting project that students have to complete. Students work with a company to serve as consultants on projects that will help to students to hone their business management skills that they have learned in the program. “It is an opportunity that I would not necessarily have gotten at another school, but because of our relationship with the community, the school was able to facilitate that, which is a phenomenal opportunity to apply my classroom learning outside of the classroom,” Lewis said.
