Does a rec from my Bio Psych professor count as "science"?

I was just wondering as I start getting letter writers and many schools require letters specifically from science faculty

If you list the class as a biology course then most certainly.

 

[Statefan]

Well it's technically a PSY course as listed by my university...

 

[Statefan]

This may be a dumb question, but what do you mean by listing it as a biology course? I have not seen that option anywhere in the "Course Work" section of the AMCAS.

I ask because I do not want to send a bio psych rec as a science faculty rec and a school not accept it as one and either delay or DQ my application

 

[AdrianVeidt]

Course classification. Asks you whenever you add a course.

 

[Statefan]

Oh yeah, I understand now.

So even though the AMCAS guide book lists psychology under Behavioral Sciences, do you think a bio psych course would be considered a biology course as well?

And thanks so much for your replies!

I'm listing my biological psychology class as as a biology class

Depends on the school. I called some schools and they said yes.

Does a letter from a scientist count if he or she happens to work in an engineering department?

All my letters are from engineering people.
