Just wondering if a public health class on epidemiology counts as a science class? Sorry if this has been asked before - I couldn't seem to find a definite answer.

Thanks!

The answer is no, unless you can somehow pass it as statistics.

It looks like the OP is asking for recommendation letter purposes, not AMCAS classification.

^Yes! I'm leaning towards the "unlikely" side if it's generally not considered part of your science GPA. I know I could call all the schools to ask, but before I go through that I was just wondering if anyone here knows. 🙂

It's definitely a gray area.

I'd contact some of your top choices and ask them, some schools are particular.
