Hey all,

Currently an MPH in Epidemiology student at NYMC. I'm planning to apply to med school after I grad in the spring of 20', but was wondering if I could possibly use a biostatistics/epi professor as a recommender in lieu of a heavy sciences based proffesor. It's been almost a good 2 years since I've been in contact with any science based professors, and am not sure if I'll be able to get a decent letter from such a faculty... Perhaps maybe I could take an extra science course for fun and ask for a letter of rec (what are my chance though... lol).

Would be soooo glad to hear back from you guys!

Hi! I just wanted to see if you ever got an answer about this? I just applied to dental school and I used one of my biostats professors from my MPH but now I am worried that this may not be sufficient.

Biostatistics counts as BCPM on your AMCAS application so IMHO it should count as a science letter. I wouldn't have a problem with it.
