How do med schools know which letters are from science professors?

I know most professors write which classes they taught within the letter--but what if they don't? How does a school know which is science and which is non-science? I didn't leave any contact info for any of my letters

Related question. Can I have my engineering professors write my non-science letters since med schools don't count engineering as a science?

Don't the professors usually sign the letter with the department they work in? That typically tells you. Also, they usually mention what class you took with them in the letter.

Key word usually.

One of my letters (in fact, the only one I actually saw) does not have the class nor is it signed with the department. So I know that at least one letter out there isn't easily classified.

They would probably just cross-reference your letter with your AMCAS.
