Searched threads, couldn't find whether statistics counts as a science or not.

Specifically, the class was called "Design of Experiments," I think the professor would be able to speak to my scientific reasoning ability, and the class is taught so it heavily emphasizes real world examples of experimental design.

I think it would be fine given the nature of the course, anyone have insight on this?

Course description:

An introduction to the basic principles of experimental design: analysis of variance for experiments with a single factor; randomized blocks and Latin square designs: multiple comparison of treatment means; factorial and nested designs; analysis of covariance; response surface methodology.

I would definitely consider that a science letter versus a non-science letter, but I suppose it really depends on how picky the schools are going to be.

Agreed.

Agreed, also.

If you consider that 'science' GPA includes math, I don't see why a 'science' letter can't do the same. I used a psychology professor - just made sure I played up the fact that he was a neuroscientist.
