hi,guys
my mentor is a former dean in the dental school i was graduated from in my homecountry. Can i use her recommendation letter? I saw some schools require the LOR from the dean of the applicant's dental school.
thanks!

I think you can. But the best bet would be to call the schools you are applying to and ask them.

There are some schools which require reco letters not more than 1 yr. old. like UOP....and there are some where it doesn't matter how old the reco. letter is.You need to call the offices of the schools you are planning to apply and ask them for yourself or just go to their websites and check it.

Thanks!!

Hi doctor597

Yes they do and you are wrong (with your due permission) 🙄 🙄 . This is what it says on their website:

"9. TWO LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION
A minimum of two letters of recommendation (original or notarized*) are required. A maximum of four letters will be accepted. If you have been out of dental school for two years or less, letters should be from the Dean and/or faculty. If you have been out of school for three or more years, letters from either the school or other dental professionals are required. Letters should be no more than 12 months old at the time of application."

These days and ages all the informations are so easily obtainable that one has to consciously not look for them in order to.....one has to be more observant buddy. 🙂 🙂

Good luck 👍

Well I don't think there's any school which doesn't require letter of recommendation....at least i don't know of any,though the no. of letters of reco. required may vary from school to school.
