Hi guys,

In need of your advice. I’m a non-traditional applicant who’ve decided to apply to dental schools next year. I am taking a summer class right now but I don’t think it’ll be a strong LOR from this professor. I plan on taking only one more Fall semester class since I will be working full-time.

Question: how strict are dental schools about 2 LORs from science professors and 1 LOR from non-science professor? Can I still apply with one or two LORs from my co-workers who can provide stronger LORs than science/non-science professors?

Any advice is much appreciated 🙏
