Hello Everyone, I just found out that I got accepted to a one year preceptorship program at UCLA and I am confused about some things so hoping for some answers/advice from the more experienced International graduates/Advanced Standing students.
My sole purpose in joining the preceptorship program is go have something 'extraordinary' put on my resume( I am solely interested in California Schools for personal reasons). so here it goes:
1- Is it really worth it to spend close to $40,000 attending this program (that is cost of tuition + appx living + travel) to get acceptance to a IDP program? Will it be looked upon fore favorable than say...a DA job at a dental office?
2- Is there financial aid available if/when I attend this program?
3- I understand that one big advantage would be that I can get a letter of recommendation from someone. However, program doesnt start until june end and I highly doubt that ANYONE will be willing to give me a recommendation letter so early.
Basically, I want to pretty much weight the Pro's and Cons....and the bottom line question I guess would be is $40,000 really worth it?
I also undersatnd that nobody here can give me a 'gaurantee' of whether I will get admission. I am just seeking advice from the more experienced.
Thanks!
