I tried posting the following under other forums but no one has replied. I am posting this here to see if anyone has any advices. Looking forward to your responses! Thanks in advance!
Is anyone having trouble finding a science instructor as their referee? I recently graduated and I am working towards my dental school application. The US schools that I looked at so far all require at least 2 science instructors who have taught us before. I only have one letter from a sci instructor and one letter from a dentist. I am very worried about how I can get a second referee! My questions are as follows:
1) Are there any US schools that require only 1 science instructor as a referee? If not, do you know about schools in Australia?
2) I emailed a few sci instructors to see if I can work in their lab but they either do not reply or said they do not have any space available at the moment. Any advices?
3) I thought about going back to school to take 1 or 2 classes, but I realized it is still very difficult for me to get to know the prof as most of my class sizes usually range from 70 to more than 100 students. I also thought about getting a Master's degree, but again, it's hard for me to find a lab that will take me in + I am not very into doing researches for at least 2 yrs. Without this one science instructor as my referee, is there no way for me to get into dental school?
Any responses will be highly appreciated! Thanks!!
