Best way to add additional recommendation?

A few months ago, I requested an evaluation from a dentist with whom I have worked closely. Unfortunately, this was a particularly busy time, and he agreed to do this, but only with the disclosure that his clinical load was pretty heavy.

I have three strong recommendations from faculty, but a few schools require letters from dentists. I already submitted my AADSAS with these three recommendations. What would be the easiest way to get this recommendation out? Could I add another recommendation to my AADSAS, or should I just have the dentist's office send it out to these schools directly?

If you already submitted ADDSAS best bet is to send the letter directly to the schools

Was wondering the same, thanks.

Thanks for the heads up. I figured that I wouldn't be able to add letters after submitting, but I just figured I would check to see if there was any other way. I called ADEA's help line and they provided some confusing information--it sounds like this may be sent to schools as an update?

 

[gsquared]

Yep--it already was mailed out to 8 or so schools. Anybody know if I can add via the portal for sure? The person I spoke with from ADEA seemed to believe this was a possibility...

If it matters, this evaluator said they would have the letter ready by early next week.

 

[gsquared]

thank you very much for the quick and helpful reply--I'll do just that

So I have the letter and I intend to call the schools to inform them of the additional letter. Do people think I should do this now since the letter has been uploaded to AADSAS, or when it is marked "mailed"?

Same problem with me. I had my professor email it to one school, which specifically told me to do so. He then uploaded it to AASDAS and I emailed all the schools I applied to that there is an update on my AASDAS. Many schools thanked me for the update and said they made a note on my file. My letter got uploaded last Friday. I am hoping it goes out this week. Also keep in mind some schools will only accept letters from AASDAS, so emailing it to them will not work.

Ok, so I let a few schools know, and they said the letter is visible and that reviews haven't begun yet. Thanks all for your help!
