On AASDAS, can you choose which schools receive which LORs?

I know a lot of the schools have different requirements for LORs, and I was wondering if on the application for each school you can choose which of the LORs gets sent out.

No, they send the same materials to all the schools in your list.

Really? So what happens for the schools that want 2 LORs vs 3, and the schools that have specific LOR requirements like having 1 from a dentist?

Oh I see your problem, the schools that I applied to didn't require a LOR from a dentist so I submitted 2 from science profs and 1 from my supervisor. I think the limit for number of LOR's on AADSAS is 3 or 4 I forgot. So if you want to be sure just submit 2 from science profs and 1 from a dentist because some schools need one from a dentist and some need 2 LOR's specifically from science profs. I guess it doesn't hurt if the schools that only need 2 received 3 letters from AADSAS but will definitely hurt if they need 3 and only received 2. Some schools will follow up with you to submit secondary application or additional documents if they need more.
Hopefully someone will answer your question better.

Just get 3 or even 4 total. I only had a committee letter (3 profs.) and a letter from my dentist. This was sufficient for me for all 13 schools I applied to.
