Do I need a non-science letter of recommendation?! or 3 science letters?!? Which schools require this?!


Currently, I have asked for 4 letter of recommendations: 2 science, 1 dentist, and 1 pre-health organization advisor (we don't have a pre-dental committee at our school so I thought this was the other option)

Should I be okay?

I do have the ADEA dental schools book, but when I had made a list of the dental schools to apply, I don't recall which school required a non-science letter of recommendation or needed 3 letters. Would the advisor's letter work as the fourth letter?

depends on the schools.

Some schools will be okay with any 2 science LORs and nothing else... others will be very specific and want 2 science LORs SPECIFICALLY from either bio or chem course or from pre-req professor.

Some schools want 3 science LORs. Others want 2 science, 1 non-science, and 1 optional (dentist for example)...

it all depends on the school's requirement

Does a committee letter suffice in place of all these different requirements at most schools?
