Members don't see this ad.

Hi everybody, I'm considering applying to Uof Pittsburgh and Boston Univ. Advanced Standing Programs.
I dont have any letters of recommendation and it's almost impossible for me to get any since i'm in the states now. Does anyone know if they even accept applications without letters of recommendation ?
Do they consider an application withour LOR's?

Thanx for ur help

I have seen on some dental school websites that your application is not considered complete without the LOR's. I would try and contact anyone that could write an LOR from your previous address. You might also want to call the schools you are applying to and discuss your circumstances with one of their counselors to see what they recommend.

As far as I know out of the three LOR ,one has to be from the Dean of your dental school,second from a staff member who has taught you or graded you and the third one is of your choice.
Correct me if I am wrong.
