I received an envelope from UPenn today, inside it tells me that they received my AADSAS app and yadda yadda. However it has a checklist telling me what is missing, and it says that I am missing 1 faculty evaluator.
I am confused now because I sent 2 science Lors and 1 dentist letters and thought it would be ok since the requirements are as follows:

"A minimum of two letters from professors or a committee letter prepared by the school's prehealth advisor and/or a committee familiar with the applicant's academic abilities is required. Penn Dental Medicine does not require letters from science faculty, unless you are a science major. Please refer to the AADSAS application instructions for submitting letters of recommendation. Although it is preferred that all letters be sent directly to AADSAS, we will accept letters sent directly to Penn Dental Medicine's Office of Admissions. "


There is no way I can get another LOR, until next semester if I do well in my classes, I already Emailed past professors and none responded... 🙁
 
For some reason, I thought Penn required 3 prof LORs... If I can find out where it said that, I'll let you know. But it might be a good idea to call the school. I don't know what to say about getting another LOR though. It's so hard to find profs who will agree to write one and then actually follow through. 🙁
 
I called and the admissions person looked at my file and said she would tell somebody (I forgot who). So it may have been just a mistake, I hope.
