My understanding is that UPENN requires 2 letters from professors in your major? Is this a recommendation or a strict requirement even if your major is non-science. Or will the typical 2 science (chem/bio/physics) work too?
 
I was a double major so I did 1 from each major since they weren't really specific - 1 science and 1 philosophy to be exact. You should probably do the same - 1 science and 1 from your major.

anyone else have any insight? is it mandatory to have 2 lors from your major?

Going to Penn this upcoming fall. I majored in neuroscience and had three rec - two science (bio & my research) & one non science. My research credit was included as part of my major but I don't recall Penn being that strict as long as it was two science.
