Hey Shashi!
nothing is sure in this life! :-(
but I am sure that doing a preceptorship will give you some advantage to get into any of both programs (dds or aegd)
Just have ready all the requirements and your preceptorship diploma will be the "plus" you need to get a seat in the program.
Remember during the preceptorship you can make a lot of new friends, who are faculty members, and they can give you letters of recommendation
Furthermore, you can call the preceptorship coordinator and kindly ask him about that if in the past someone after the preceptorship got a place into the aegd program or dds.


my two cents

Also, have you compared the preceptorship fees from other universities?
I see you didn't, because those preceptorships at UCLA are NOT expensive.
They are the cheapest in the USA.
If you compare the preceptorships at Columbia University, USC, LLU, NYU, UTHSCSA, and Washington University you will see that UCLA preceptorships are affordable.

You know, incidently, I knew a girl who did her perceptorship in restorative at UCLA. She was in the one year thing where she got some hands-on.
Surprisingly, UCLA did not invite her for the PPID interview.
But, She got into alabama, and the faculty there took her in on basis of LORs given by the restorative faculty at UCLA...

I personally believe, that doing a perceptorship at a school u r keen on will help a lot. but exceptions always exist.

Can I please know what preceptorship exactly is!? Is it just observership or clinically also they allow on patients? Also of I don't plan for a DDS then is it of any use? I'm talking about aesthetic and restorative dentistry
