Are Dentist LOR mandatory?

I know 4 LOR are needed; I can do 4 different Professors for that but not sure if that would work?


I will be taking the DAT soon and schedule a bit crazy with work and studying so making time for shadowing don't fit in to schedule now tbh.

I did work as a dental assistant several years ago during the whole summer, I still have my pay stubs from there but just like a freshman year professor in a large class, they won't have a clue who I am if I reach out to them.

I know there are a few schools that do not require a letter from dentists, but does this mean you don't have any shadowing hours? The latter part is more concerning tbh..

^^If you have no shadowing hours that's gonna be a pretty major red flag even if you did work as a DA for a bit

I would strongly recommend getting an LOR from a dentist.

I would strongly recommend getting an LOR from a dentist.

I second this. I have spoken to many schools when I was applying as well as dental students. You should have one from a dentist
