composite letter or individual professor letters?

From my previous experience of applying to dental schools, it seems the committee letter would be a good thing to have.

If I was in your shoes, I'd do both-- Get your professors' letters in first then wait leisurely for the committee letters. The name of the game is cover all bases and leave nothing to chance.

Good luck!

 

Committee letters are always a bonus in many ways. For example, many schools require 2 science prof. letters, but I didn't have those because I am an English major. Those same schools accept a committee letter, however. In my situation, it made it much easier for me.

By the way, you should talk your preprofessional committee into doing letters earlier in the year. Our committee interviewed us in February, and had the letters complete (with the exception of DAT scores) by May.
