Gathering LoRs

Hi guys, I was wondering if you could help me about LoRs. I heard that AADSAS only allows 4 letters. I was thinking about getting 2 science professors, 1 english teacher, and a dentist. What did most of you guys get? My school doesn't offer the pre-health admission committeese thingy that some schools required, so I have to personally ask professors myself. The only thing I was concerned about was the English teacher. Do you guys think I should get one from her or just 3 sciences and 1 dentist. I know each school had their own requirements for LoRs, but I was just wondering what most schools require, and I wanted to get an answer from people who have already been through this. Anyways, thank you for help.

Getting three science professors and a dentist is fine. The two science professor requirement is a minimum so that people don't just have all nonscience recommendations.

I got two science teachers, two psychology teachers (I am a psychology major), and a dentist. I think it was an excellent blend. Also note, I didn't get A's in all of their classes.

Do you think the letter from the program helped you get into UCLA?
I'm currently in the program and UCLA is my top choice.
