Letter of Recommendation Choices

Hi all,

I was going to submit LOR's from 2 science prof, 1 dentist, and 1 researcher that i volunteer for.
Is it better if I do 3 science and 1 dentist instead?

What is the general requirement by most schools?

The first option is good.

I think if you get 2 science, 1 from someone who knows you well (non science, counselor, etc) and 1 dentist you cover 90% of schools.

1st option is good and that's what I'm doing.

Thanks, I feel like all of these LOR writers know me well but I don't really have a non-science or counselor that does

An employer is another common one that can cover the "knows you well" requirement. Or some type of spiritual leader!

Hey thanks for the suggestion! My employer is also the dentist who's writing my rec letter so I'm not sure, he actually knows me the best of the four. I could maybe ask the office manager of the homeless dental clinic i volunteer for but she doesn't really know me well
