How man y of the letters must be from science teachers? I have two from science teachers and one from a dentist, is this considered ok? Or, do I need three from science teachers ?

i believe that some schools required three from sci professors in which one can be from a research professor. check with the schools but i'd say a safe bet is just to get 3 sci. good luck!

Most schools require 3 letters. 2 of those should be with professors (perhaps only one science and another from a different field), and one from a dentist or former employer, etc.

As the above poster said, it will vary from program to program, so call them directly to get the skinny.

Or if your school has a pre-professional committee, just use them and they will send out one letter.

my school has a pre-health committee, and i already had an interview with them. but i was thinking about sending an additional LOR from my English professor to each school to cover my low RC score. but i'm not sure if i should send it directly to schools or to aadsas. does any one know?
thanks.

fundamental flaw in your rationale? thinking that a LOR from your English professor will cover your low RC score....

LORs often are not read, and when they are, don't hold much of a sway over your status. Obviously exceptions are if you have a LOR that badmouths, or an LOR from a prominent person or one with significant clout at the school.

but by all means, if sending in letters makes you feel better about life, send it in, they're not goign to send the AADSAS stormtroopers after you.
