Hi there SDN!
I have a question on getting a LOR from a dentist from you experienced applicants.
I am shadowing a dentist right now until the end of Aug before going back to school.
I will be shadowing him for about 50+ hrs BUT I'm not applying until next year...
I can't shadow him during school years cause I'll be living on campus which is 2 hrs away from my house...
So my question is, should I ask for the LOR now?
OR should I wait and come back next year and ask for the LOR then?
I don't want to ask him 1 year later cause it's probably not going to be as good BUT if I ask for it now, it will be a year old by the time I apply.
what should I do?
Should I ask for the LOR and have him write the date for next year?
Share your experience if you had similar situation which I'm sure many of you had.
Thanks!
