Have you volunteered/shadowed/attended events at any dental schools? No
Relevant Honors or Awards: None
LOR type and strength: 3 dentists, i have gotten really really close to all 3 of them, they offered to write one without me even asking. 2 are from the same clinic (current owner and previous owner), other is at the pediatric clinic i shadowed at. Instead of science professors I'm getting an HPE packet from my university which includes a cover letter from my pre-dental advisor and my 3 LOR's all in one packet.
Misc Info/Things not stated elsewhere/Red Flags: D+ in a NON-pre -requisite course. My advisor said I can still graduate with the D+ since my university considers it passing, and it is not a pre-req for dental schools.
