I am getting a LOR from my professor that taught my "advanced pathophysiology" class...although it was at the 200 level at a CC. Will this be suffice for a science LOR or do I need to go back and ask for another. My other letter is from my cell bio professor.

I anticipate the letter being strong as I have known the professor professionally, academically, and personally for around 5 years. I have another letter writer in mind, my organic lab professor last year, but I don't know her nearly as well.

That sounds like a science course to me. So it should be good.

Definitely go for that professor, they know you well and a personal letter makes for a much stronger letter (most of the time ahaha).
 
^ I second that. Quality is very important
