Hello aerien,

Thanks for your feedback. One thing about Davis is that it has a small alumni network plus you compete with Stanford and Berkeley for the bay area jobs.
The alumni network of Irvine is getting stronger in the northern California as well. So, really a tough call for me :(

I went to Davis for undergrad, so clearly I'm biased, but Davis is actually well-known and well-regarded in Northern California. I wouldn't say the same thing about Irvine. I agree with aerien that you should think carefully about where you want to end up after school (and therefore where you need a strong brand and network) and make your decision accordingly.

Go to UC Irvine for the MBA program. It is higher ranked, better location, network, stronger corporate connections, reputation and faculty.
