Hey everyone,

It'll be my first time applying to dental school and using AADSAS. I'm a little confused about the LOR section. I'm applying to multiple schools and they all want different types of LORs. Some want 3 science professors, some want 2 science profs + 1 liberal arts prof + 1 dentist, some want 2 science profs + an employer. How many reference letters are we allowed to upload/send through the AADSAS portal? Let's say I upload 3 letters from science profs and 1 letter from a dentist, but I need room for 1 more from a liberal arts prof, can I send this last one by mail directly to the school, or does everything have to be done through AADSAS?

Thanks for your help! 🙂

There have been some talk that starting this year that the app will let you send select letters to schools depending on the schools requirements. I would start getting all desired letters pronto and wait to see what the app looks like in a few months and await further confirmation.
