A few of the schools I have been looking at have been saying I need at least two letters from science professors. I got one strong letter from one science professor and one strong letter from a calc professor but I will have a hard time getting another good letter from a science professor.

I know math is included in your BCPM (science) GPA so can I use the math letter as a science?

From what I've read on here, it is okay to use a math instructor/professor as a lor as science.

umm, no, it is not a substitute for a science letter...check the requirements for some of the schools you are most interested in.

They really do expect you to have letters from science profs....

I would think that it would be all right, but I haven't checked the rules.

For most schools, they want something from bio/chem/phys, some schools count Math but I don't think many do.

Actually, it is sometimes a substitute. I agree as well, check the requirements. More schools accept it than you would think, especially if you try calling the office.

It sounds silly for them to calculate your BCPMATH gpa but not allow students to use Math Lors for applications...
