Recommendation Letter Letterhead

[dentaldreams2021]

Hey guys,

Both of my professors I spoke to for my recommendation letter said they would be writing their letters for me on official/university letterheads, as dental school rec letters have to be on letterheads.

However, do our dentist rec letters also have to be on letterheads? Do dentists have their own letterheads? Because they aren't affiliated with an institution. I'm talking to the dentist I shadowed soon about my rec letter and I wanted to bring this up. Thanks!

Generally people who have written rec letters use letterheads, but it doesn't hurt to confirm! I don't think it's that big of a deal anyways. Maybe I shouldve asked mine...

Yes, and they should have their own letterhead. Their practice is a business.

I assume when the dentists get the email from AADSAS they would be told if it was required? I'm pretty sure mine didn't use letterhead but I'm not too worried.

You should have mentioned it to them

Most dentists have letterhead for their business. They should use it.

I got an email from Indiana saying that my application isn't complete because two of my letters weren't on official letter head . I was pretty sure I told the professors to put it on letterhead but now I am worried about all the other schools. Can I have them resend it to AADSAS or do they have to send the letter individually to all the schools? I already submitted my AADSAS application

this happened to me earlier with a signature on a letter! here's what I did-

email all your schools and see if they want it on letter head
email/call your professor(s) and tell them the situation
If after ~3 business days a school hasn't replied, call them and find out. Make sure you confirm whether they want it by email or physical mail

With your list of schools that want the new letter, send letters individually to the schools through Interfolio.


Also: Don't stress- chances are if schools reject you it won't be because your LOR didn't have a letterhead!
