Hi!
I am applying to the 2018 cycle. I am trying to get letters of recommendation from "science" professors. One professor I am asking is my Biochemical Nutrition professor. In my perspective this counts as science because it was very biochemistry heavy and focused mostly on metabolism. Under AAMC guidelines, nutrition counts as a non science. I heard there was a way to contest the classification of a letter but I am not sure how. Does anyone know about this?
Here is the course description:
"Biochemistry and metabolism of the water and fat soluble vitamins and minerals. Emphasizes the digestion, transport, metabolism and intercellular functions of these nutrients and how diet/food intake and physiological states affect these processes."
Thank you!
