Does a recommendation letter from a STATs professor count as a non-science or science letter ?

I need a non-science letter of rec, however I'm not sure if a STAT letter of rec would count as science (since its apart of the BCPM) or as non-science (since STATs isn't necessarily science).

It would be science because it is BCPM

I guess it's science...but realize that this is one of the few letters that should speak to your potential as a future physician, ie: someone who has a solid grasp on basic biochemistry, immunology, microbiology, physiology, etc. Are you sure you want to use a letter from a stats prof to convey that to adcoms? My .02 would be to make sure you have some from other science profs too.
