LOR UMN

[predental-4]

For the LOR for the UMN school of dentistry, it mentions how teaching assistants (TAs) are acceptable. I have a TA from a science course that would be a strong letter. Would it be okay, even though the TA is a graduate student? Just want to make sure.

If it says TAs are acceptable then they are acceptable. See if the professor of the course would be willing to co-sign the letter. It will help carry more weight. But if not, it should still be fine

Awesome, thanks! The professor isn’t responding due to being out of town but either way, they would be strong letters.

Sounds good, if you have any more questions about the application process for UMN shoot me a PM or reply back here. I’ll be a D1 this August!

Just FYI, if you upload this letter to AADSAS, it will be sent to all the schools you apply to and other schools will probably not accept a letter from a TA. If you're sending it directly to UMN, then it should be fine.

Oh this is good advice. Thank you for clarifying @artist2022 !!

Are you sure you want to go to UMN? Last I heard they stopped preparing students for CRDTS, so students who go there will hopefully practice in Minnesota. Lol

Oh, I haven't heard of that. I don't even know what the CRDTS is?
