ACK... I submitted my AADSAS in mid-June, taking the DAT on Aug 12, have a 3.56 overall, 3.39 science GPA. I got letters from a dentist at UWSoD, a bio prof, and a medical research scientist whose lab I worked in for a year.
But I'm missing a second professor LOR!!! My genetics professor from spring quarter agreed to write me one, but my A- in his class turned into a B- after the final exam. One lousy day. I recently emailed him to see if he was still willing, but he's out of his office until mid-Aug. We'll see what happens.
So for now, I'm getting secondaries mailed to me and other notices from the schools I applied to (Tufts, BU, UPenn have all contacted me), but I don't fulfill the LOR requirements.
Does anyone have any advice? I'm leaving on August 18 for a month-long study abroad program in Croatia & Bosnia-Herzegovina, and I won't be back until Sept 22. It's making it difficult to start thinking about meeting up with professors in the summer.
Is my only option to wait until fall quarter starts and then start tracking down other professors? Does anyone think I stand a chance at still getting one from the genetics professor? Am I basically screwed for the 2005 cycle?
The dentist who wrote me a letter is a part-time lecturer and faculty member in the dental school. Would that count as a faculty/professor letter?
Thanks for any advice! I really appreciate it!
