will I be fine with these 4 LORs?
I'm a Canadian and will be mostly applying to private schools (typical Canadian story)
1. dentist (specialist, 60+shadowing)
2. chemistry professor (done research under)
3. science professor (Phd, taken course under)
4. volunteer supervisor (hospital related)

i know preferably it should be 2 chemistry/bio professors i have taken a course under
BUT i know my letters will be much much stronger from these.

will I be fine? kind of worried.
thanks for your input!

This sounds good! The consesus (at least from what I've gathered browsing SDN) is that you want LORs from two science professors, one non-science and one dentist to cover all your bases. Seems like you have that. Keep in mind that although (I think) you can upload all four of these LORs to AADSAS most schools only take 3 or even as little as two LORs.

but some schools say that two science professors need to be ones that you have taken a course from.
But i think it's kind of pointless. 1 from a professor that you've taken course under makes sense but others should be from other fields where they can explain how this person is suitable for dentistry. But some schools require this so that's why i am a little worried.

anybody others thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
