Jyodi Attended UC Davis then UCLA Medical School
I am a first-generation college student and was accepted to UC Davis, UC San Diego, and UCLA. I ended up choosing the Aggies. I graduated from UC Davis in large part because she earned one of the prestigious $40,000 Jack Kent Cooke scholarships while at Mission College.

Camille, a Bioengineering Student, Transferred to UC Berkeley
Mission College was integral to my success by helping build my Engineering core competencies (math & science) in an environment that cared about my academic goals. Professors like Dr. Faris created classes that are just as challenging as at transfer universities, but that offer the resources you need to do your best.

Engineering Transfer Student Monal Transferred to UC San Diego
During my time at Mission, I was able to explore and figure out what I wanted to do with my life. I decided that I was going to become an engineer. I would invent something that helps people, and start a business around it. I also learned how to be a good student, and I took Business classes in addition to STEM ones. Teachers at Mission were friendly, helpful, and encouraging.
