Ok, school advisors said I should not apply through committee letter process which is not good..

So, What Should I do now ?

I have four recommendation letters in the school ( they are all credential files )

If I do committee letter then all I need to do is to ask the school to send it to the ADDSAS and they will spread it to dental schools right??

but since I need to do indivisual letter, I am kind lost now..


Do I still need to ask school to send all four letters to the ADDSAS, and ADDSAS will send the letter to the schools ????

then, how can ADDSAS figure out which dental school requires three letters or four letters or two letters ?

I don't know guys...

some dental school requires three letters, some requires two.. some reuqires four..

and I don't know what I should do to send them correctly.. if that is in the one committee letter then it is so simple but now I am in trouble

please help me with this..

explain details about how I should do
 
this sounds like a question for your adviser, it's their job to know these things
 
Send all four letters to AADSAS and they will take care of it. Remember to have the LOR matching form when you send it. Yes, some schools have requirements but generally speaking if 2 of the 4 letters are from science professors and 1 out of 4 is from a dentist then you will meet the requirements of 99% of the dental schools.
If you send 4 and a school only requires 2 or 3, it doesn't matter they will still have it on your file and no it will not look bad to have more than what they want.

Ok, that's good to hear..

So only thing I need to do is just print out the LOR matching form and send it to the school and my school will send all four letters to AADSAS and AADSAS will take care everything , do I understand right ?


I have two science professor, one language professor, one dentist..

From my understanding, (i dont remember, and AADSAS portal is closed).. If you want to submit 4 LORs you need to enter their info (email address, etc) into the AADSAS portal, and AADSAS will send them a link to attach the letter. If you do not want to go through the committee process, you will have to submit 4 of these on AADSAS (However, I am pretty certain there was a max of three spots for evaluators). IF you are going through the committee letter process, you just enter the pre-health committee information.

Its also important to note, that some schools prefer the committee letter. Its explicitly written on the school websites.
