Hi guys, I'm still waiting for my dentist LOR and I was wondering if I should submit now? There are a few schools that require an LOR from a dentist so would I get rejected from those schools right away?
Thanks
 
Yep! And no... They'll wait on reviewing your app because you don't meet their requirements. I e-submitted without two LORs, actually... a chemistry professor and a dentist. After you e-submit you have more time to upload the LORs anyway because they have to verify your GPA. Even if your transcripts are already "in"/processed, you have 2 weeks-ish to upload them. Even if you don't upload them "in time", schools will wait on you. Most (or all, maybe?) will send you an email that says "your application is missing X and Y".
