is it okay to use four science professors and one dentist for nova??? can the dentist count as an non science person?? (I am a science major and don't know many liberal arts teachers...lol...)
Thats my problem too. A non-sci prof recommendation would be worthless. It would be like, Intro to Cul Anth or like Intro to Education or something random like that. Id much rather have 3 science and 1 dentist (isnt there the 4 rec max now?).
I think the reason that some schools want you to get a LOR from non science faculty is due to the fact that they want a well rounded student. They want to know that you had interest in other courses not just the sciences.
