Hey there!
So i have a question and hopefully one of you scholars can help me on this:
I'm in a weird situation because I've run out of people to ask for a letter of recommendation. All of the classes I've been in have had 100+ students so it is quite hard for any of my professors to remember me. It also doesn't help that I took these classes 2+ years ago.
I did however have a very positive experience with calculus in college (got an A). The class was small (20 students) and I really liked the teacher. My real problem however isn't whether math is considered a science class, it is the fact that he was a foreign teacher and spoke limited english. I'm desparate for a 4th LOR (paranoid about 3). Would it be advisable to ask this teacher for a letter of rec?
 
It wouldn't hurt you if you have letters of recommendation from science professors as well, but schools prefer letters from biology and chemistry departments. Even in biology, I know some schools prefer letters of recommendation from professors involved in microbiology rather than evolution or ecology. Three letters seem more than enough; your GPA, DAT, and interview are significantly more important.
