Does anyone know know strict the schools are on their LOR requirements? The schools I am applying to each have differing requirement, for example, one school wants letters from 2 science professors and one liberal arts and another school wants 1 character and 1 science and another wants 1 science and 1 dentist. If I send my letters through AADSAS how is all of that sorted out?

What I did was i got a 2 science proff, 1 character, 1 Dentist and i was alright. But the schools i applied to did not need a liberal arts proff.
It does not matter what a school needs as far as AADSAS is concerned they send all your LOR's to everybody. So if you give them 4 LOR's all the schools get 4 LOR's.

Just send as much LORs to AADSAS as you need to fulfill the requirements of all the schools that you are applying for. The AADSAS will indeed send all the LORs to every schools but each respective school will just use the required LORs for their schools and disregard the others, or use them as indirect information (won't affect your evaluation).
