Hi everyone!

I sent the dentist that I have been shadowing for 1.5 years the TMDSAS evaluator request email, but no response from her. I sent a reminder email on june 3rd to tell her to include my TMDSAS ID and upload on an official letterhead. I dont know what to do, she is very friendly and she was very glad that I asked her for one. She has little kids and school is out, so she may be busy with them. I know that I should not be too paranoid since it's only mid-June, but I am anxious now...

Any advice?
 
Kindly follow up with her in a week. Remind her that you are grateful that she agreed to writer you a letter and it would be most helpful if the letter is received by MM/DD. Make sure she has everything she needs, your CV, transcript, etc.
 
Why does she need to include your ID in the letter? That's the first time I ever heard of that...
 
Thanks for the advice guys!

@SrJulio - I have given her everything that she needs! Personal Statement, CV, transcripts etc. But I will email her again in a week? When do you think the latest to turn in the dentist letter should be? I have already submitted my app.

@Muhammed - I specifically asked her to write me a recommendation at the end of March, but I told her the application does not open until May (TMDSAS)/ June (AADSAS). The day after I sent her an email with all my stuff (Personal Statement, CV, transcripts etc), I went to shadow her and she personally told me that she received all of the docs. I am back home and her dental office is located at my college town, so there is no way to go to her office. But I will try emailing again otherwise I may have to make that trip.

@FlowerGirl35 - I swear I read on the application page that dentists have to include our ID, but I am not completely sure.
