"Social Science uses statistics"

Statistics is a tool often employed in the scientific method. Social Sciences relies heavily on that tool to create models or probabilities. I don't discount its usefulness but is it in the same class of Physics, Chemistry or Medicine to be a science? I think a lot of people have a vested interest to elevate it to that degree but I'm not sure I would consider it on equal footing with natural and physical sciences.
