The science courses are important preparation for the MCAT but it is not required to be a science major to apply to medical school (a fact that many medical schools will publish in their catalog). It is more important that your recommendations be from someone who knows your abilities-- communication skills are being emphasized more in medical schools as are analytical abilities. It may be non-traditional but it will make you stand out more (and that's a good thing) to have a recommendation letter not speak to your abilities in the lab!
Good Luck!
