So I go to UCI and they have a letters of recommendation service basically they collect your letters in a "file" and them mail out verified copies to whatever professonal/Ph.D service etc that you're applying for. However AADSAS doesn't accept these "copies" from the service because they're not a committee and they're not originals. The solution that the UCI recommendation letters service gives, is that you can mail them directly to the school. I'm just curious where I need to mail these as I'm having a hard time finding an address where L.O.R's need to be mailed for each school. Has anyone used this service? Will they mail my letters to the right place if I just give them what schools I want to apply?
Also I have a letter of Rec from a DDS I used to volunteer for my senior year of HS, I'm fairly certain it's a good letter however I'm not sure the relevance of the letter since it's been so long. I currently will be sending out 6 letters: 2 biology, 1 research, 1 work experience, 1 clinical volunteering (dental related), and 1 letter from HS Dental office volunteering. I'm worried that this is too many letters. should I scrap the HS Dental letter?
Additionally I'm curious about the AADSAS application itself. I'm planning on taking my DAT's at the end of July and then applying right after that. To facilitate that I've been working on completing my application in advance, entering classes, getting my letters of recommendation, grades, personal statement, etc. I submitted my transcript already for the grade matching service, I was wondering if there was any other time consuming things (that take time to process that I should do in advance?) Any help would be appreciated, I'm really stressing out.

Why don't you mail the letters directly to AADSAS rather than the school?
As for the HS Dental letter. Since it's been too long, I'm not sure they accept it. As long as you have another letter from a dentist, you'll be fine. Six letters might be too many.
You definitely what to have your application submitted as soon as possible. Even if you haven't taken the DAT yet. It will take time to process the application and your DAT scores are sent directly to the schools anyways. Visit the website of each school that you are applying to and see what they require in terms of the secondary application. Get all your photos ready and write out those checks.
