It's gotten to that point where I finally have my AMCAS completed and now I'm sending out applications! My question is.
For a non-science LOR submission, will a letter from a Calc professor suffice? I have a really strong letter from my calc professor, and was hoping to use it for that requirement.
I've read mixed opinions in the forums saying that though math is part of BCPM, it's not technically a science and other say that it is. Hoping for someone to shed some light on the matter.
Calculus is math which is science. Usually the non-science letter is an opportunity for someone to address your ability to write well, participate in vigorous class discussions, and engage in ideas presented in social sciences and the humanities. As good as that letter might be, it is unlikely to address those things that an adcom that asks for a non-science letter is looking for and will leave a blank where an answer to those questions would be.

Thanks for your insight! Also a question if you have the time. I'm about 4-5 years out of my English/Writing courses so the professors i had for the course most likely do not remember me, despite doing well in the class. Recently I've taken a wine tasting course with a very eccentric professor in another department at my University. Would it be wise to seek a letter of recommendation from him or would you recommend staying traditional in the sense of finding a humanities/social sciences professor to write me a letter? Thanks!
