It was 4 when I applied last year. However, some schools will accept them directly if they have a specific requirement which is not part of your AADSAS ones (i.e. an Arts professor). You just have to call.

You have 4 open spots to upload 4 LOEs. They can be from anyone: professor, volunteer coordinator, boss, spiritual leader, family friend, or pre-health committee. You should check to see what schools you're applying to want you to submit though. Be warned though, a committee letter takes up 3 spots, leaving you with only 1 left over spot.

I missed the deadline for the committee letter... I already got 3 letters. Can my advisor upload those 3 letters? or Should the committee send those letters to the schools?

Each school requires letters from different people(ex. spiritual leader, dentist)...
WHat should I do then? Is it possible to upload A, B, C, D letters to one school and B, C, D, E letters to the other schools???:scared:😕:luck:

do you do any of your own research into this process?

Based on my knowledge, the letters you upload to AADSAS are going to universal to all the schools you apply to. With that being said, if you select your letters in a certain way, you'll be able to cover the requirements for most of the schools you apply to. Schools like Loma Linda tend to throw things off with their special 'spiritual leader' ones.

Also, I'm pretty sure that the letters have to be uploaded by the person who wrote them, but maybe there is a way around that. I'm honestly not sure. It can be done electronically or by manually mailing it to AADSAS. All this information can be found on the ADEA AADSAS site.

Good Luck
