No. Psychology is Behavioral Science.

So for LOR purposes behavioral sciences count, but for science GPA they don't? That makes no sense.

It sure doesn't. I assumed behavioral science meant science. Maybe it doesn't

Behavioral science is considered non-science.

Would the schools really be so nit picky? Its not really AACOMAs since we send the letters to each school.

I would call and ask.

My lone non-sci letter is from a psych professor. It will count as non-science. I promise.

I mean, surely you would have a tougher time getting it to count as one of your science letters.
