😕How many LORs are you getting for Tufts?

Looks like they need a composite, a dentist, and an additional one for upper level bio classes.

Thanks
 
  • Two letters of evaluation (One from a Biology professor and one from a Biochemistry, Chemistry, Math or Physics professor) or a pre-professional composite committee letter;
  • A letter from a dentist providing proof of at least 30 hours shadowing experience-preferably a general dentist-please note this letter must include approximate number of hours
I think this means that they require either 3 letters if no committee letter is available or 2 letters if committee letter is available.

So apparently that means if you have 2 bio professors and 2 dentists, they won't consider you. Lame.
 
Agh, i have ZERO relationships with any of my non-bio professors (since im a bio major). What if we send in a compsite committee letter that consists of two bio professors and two LORS from dentists/specialists? Is that still a no-go?
 
I just emailed them. I told them I have the following...

I currently have four letters which consist of one general dentist, one dentist in specialty, one bio professor, and a microbiology professor who is the Dean of my college. Will these letters fulfill the requirements?

Their response was...

Those four letters that you plan to submit will fulfill all of our letter requirements. Thanks for checking in advance!

Best wishes,
