For those of you that are applying or have applying to many schools that required different variations of LORs, what letters did you send to AADSAS?

I read of the website they didn't want you to send more than 3 if you do not have a prehealth committee. Anyone send more letters than this and still gain acceptance?

Thanks.

Send 4 letters to play safe.
Couple of schools like UNLV and CU need 4 letters, so send 3 from science teacher and 1 from your dentist.

Can you post the link from where you read this? I hope this isn't true.

I already graduated so I will not be using a pre-health committee. However, I have 5 letters.

3 from professors/faculty (immunology, gen chem, and bio lab)
1 from volunteer coordinator
1 from a dentist
 
I originally sent three letters in with my AADSAS application for the 2005 cycle. I had an additional two letters that I wanted to include in my AADSAS application so I called AADSAS and asked what the deal was. They told me that three letters is a general rule of thumb and that if I wanted to send additional letters that it was not a big deal. So I sent them to AADSAS who then forwarded the additional two letters to all of my schools.
