Envision Application

October 10-12, 2024, the Envision Program will sponsor a campus visit for students who are interested in pursuing graduate school. The application for the Envision UC Davis program consists of two parts, a questionnaire and personal essays.

The program sponsors California residents hoping to apply for graduate school within the next two years for an action-packed weekend on the Davis campus, allowing them to envision their future as a graduate student at UC Davis.

Please note that once you start the application, you will not be able to save your progress and return at a later time to complete it. Be sure to allocate enough time to complete the entire application in one sitting.
