Is there any sort of guideline information that I can give to my evaluators when I request letters from them? For example, page limits, recommended things to discuss, ect? I haven't noticed anything specifically from ADEA.

Most professors are very accustomed to having to write students LORs for whatever reason. Give them a heads up and ask them specifically what they want. They'll generally know what to write and what they want from you to help them facilitate their letters.

Thank you for your advice. One of my letter writers is probably going to be my employer/manager for an internship, and a 4th letter from a dentist. I am not sure they are familiar with the LOR process. Anything specifically I should mention to them?

Write a mini version of personal statement, stating why you want to be a dentist and what makes you a good candidate. Then list a few of your core values and personal attributes like honesty, integrity, etc etc.
