Hmm.. one of the people I am having give me a letter of rec is a mathematics teacher who I had probability and statistics for life sciences which is an upper level math class that incorportates math into medicine. Now most applications require two letters from science teachers. I have a biochemistry phd giving me one and this mathematics teacher.. .will they reject this letter?

I don't see why they would reject it. If you are worried, you can get additional letter form another science prof.

Depends. AMCAS considered math as a science class. AACOMAS does not. So, I would say for MD schools math is a science (and thus a science LOR) and for DO schools math is not a science (and thus NOT a science LOR).

If in doubt, contact the schools you are applying to.
