Science LOR from classes that aren't Bio/Chem/Phys?
Started by Vertu
Typically helps if the professor is a PhD, or doctorate level. If the class is registered in your science GPA than it should be covered.
I would get at least 1 from one of the basic required sciences if you can.

What the hell is a medicine 180? You're an undergrad, so this could be anything from a survey course, history course or God knows what. I wouldn't try to pass a letter from this as a science class
What was the class description?Do science LOR's for DO schools have to be from only Bio/Chem/Physics classes? I took a class called Medicine 180 (Upper-Division science course). Could a LOR from my professor who taught this course qualify as a science LOR?
Not to derail from the OP but you guys say basic science course? Would a LOR from Orgo professor and my genetics professor be okay, or?

Not 100% sure so you may want to contact schools specifically. I simply recall last cycle I was incomplete for a couple of schools because my LOR from a neuroscience professor was not considered "science"; however, my LOR from my biochemistry professor was.
Those should be fine.Not to derail from the OP but you guys say basic science course? Would a LOR from Orgo professor and my genetics professor be okay, or?
Funny, my letters were from my orgo and genetics. Currently in Med school. You good HolmesNot to derail from the OP but you guys say basic science course? Would a LOR from Orgo professor and my genetics professor be okay, or?
Awesome! This makes me feel better. What professor did you have as your non science LOR? I have one from my Calc.Funny, my letters were from my orgo and genetics. Currently in Med school. You good Holmes
Yes. One of mine was from my Orgo professor/Chem chairNot to derail from the OP but you guys say basic science course? Would a LOR from Orgo professor and my genetics professor be okay, or?

Had a public speaking professor write me one.
At the end of the day, its more about the content of the letter than who writes it. ADCOMS wanna see interesting things about you from a variety of standpoints.
