Hello,

I already got LORs all from science courses but not prereq only to find out that some schools like Uof Pittsburgh require letters from prereq science...are there any other schools that require this?

is there any school that requires nonscience LOR as well?

how r we supposed to manage all of each schools requirements if we can only submit 4 LOR to AADAS?

what is the safest fields to gather LORs from? 3 prereq sci profs + 1 dentist?

omg i don't wanna go around and ask another 3 more LORs...please help
 
I got 2 from upped dev science profs, 1 from lower dev pre-req science prof (physicsII) and one from a dentist.
 
Instead of starting another topic i would like to add to your question.

I keep seeing most individuals refer to upper level science courses for their LOR's, has anyone experienced or know if a LOR from the basic pre-req professors Bio, Chem, Org Chem is waited equally.

my assumption would be the benefit of the LOR is directly related to the letter itself instead of who it came from as long as it is from the required sources (3science professors and a dentist)

I'll try to address some of your concerns by comparing what I did:
First, I didn't apply at Pitt so I don't know about their requirements but there are some other schools like UNLV that requires 4 LORs. So this is what I had:
One letter from my Chemistry professor ( I had him for my ChemI, ChemII, & Organic-I)
One from my Biochem professor
One from a dentist
One from my boss since I was a non-traditional student/applicant
Good luck !
