Hey guys,

My college writes committee letters only after receiving letters of recommendation from 2 science professors and an english professor. I know that we need to send a recommendation letter from a dentist. Should I submit the dentist's letter as the "additional letter" on AADSAS? Or should I just keep it a part of the committee letter? Which would the admission committee pay more attention to?



Thanks

Fırst off, you do not necessarıly need to send a recommendatıon letter from a dentıst, ıt's just a common requırement or suggested source of an LOR.

It almost sounds lıke eıther optıon would net the same result. However I know the wordıng certaın schools use regardıng LOR requırements ıs strange, for example ASDOH says letters from scıence faculty or commıttee letter AND a dentıst. So based on that alone, I thınk ıt would be safest to submıt the dentıst LOR separately through AADSAS ıf possıble.

You mıght take a look at thıs thread for reference to the LOR requırements per school:
