Dentist Recommendation Letter

[BJDollaz]

Hi Guys,

Currently, I have six recommendation letters uploaded on Interfolio and I can't decide which ones to use. The six include three from science professors, one from non science, one from a dentist, and one from my PI. I initially wanted to upload two science professors, my PI, and my dentist but I feel that my dentist didn't write me a strong letter. However, my other five recommendation writers all mentioned that they were able to write me extremely strong ones. So now I am considering not including my dentist recommendation letter and use another science professor or the non science professor instead, and mail out a hard copy of my Dentist's recommendation only to schools that request it, such as Boston University. What would you guys advise?

I think you should submit your dentist's letter to AADSAS. It's pretty much an unofficial requirement nowadays. Save your PI letter.

You are applying to Dental school? I would assume a letter of rec from a Dentist is important, if not more important, than all other letters.

I got multiple acceptances last cycle without a dentist letter of rec. I received one from my PI, 2 science professors, and the head of my TAing class/program. Just so you know that it's not entirely necessary at some schools, in which it is not stipulated in their requirements.
