Does a letter from a math prof count as a Science LOR?

Math is classified as a Science according to AADSAS, but with respect to LOR, does that also hold true?

Thanks again

specifically for Columbia, which requires 3 Science LOR

I don't see why not. It's in your BCPM GPA

for the purpose of calculating sGPA, yes, math is considered a science course. But my question is whether a letter from a math professor fulfills the science LOR requirement?

I know. That's what I'm saying. If its in your BCPM listing, it is a science class and will be able to be used as a science LOR

Actually, dental schools do not have a BCPM GPA. There is a BCP GPA and a science GPA (which includes all classes labeled as "other science").

For the purposes of AADSAS, math is an "other science."



OP, I assume that since math is considered other science, a letter from a math professor should technically be a science letter. However if you want the final word, you should call Columbia and ask.

Ohh I see. Thanks for the tip!
