Hello

I hope you all are doing well. I have three questions regarding rec letters for dental schools.

1. Will dental schools accept committee and rec letters that were previously for med school?
2. Can I use Interfolio to send rec letters?
3. Are the requirements pretty much the same as medical school?

1. Medicine and dentistry are different, your letters should say why you are a good candidate for a dentist, not a physician. You have to ask your professors to write another letter recommending you to be a dental student.
3. Yes

I had a lor from a professor that wrote them often for nursing students. Apparently when he wrote mine, he mentioned nursing a couple times by mistake. I had an interviewing session question me about it and I had to let them know I was serious about dentistry and never wanted to go into nursing. They believed me, but I was still embarrassed about the error. Get new ones.
