What if there is no committee? Just one ***** like both Redhead and I have to deal with (at seperate schools). I am not a declared pre-dental major simply for the fact that I don't want the lying sack of crap that is the preprofessional advisor as my advisor. She doesn't write letters (at least not that I am aware of), she's disorganized, lies through her teeth, is rude to anyone who doesn't kiss her ass, and in general is an obnoxious distraction. Personally, one of my letters will (most likely) be coming from the head of my department. I think that would more than signify school and department support for me, than a letter from a woman who probably hasn't talked to a school of dentistry in at least a couple of years.
