<p>I'm currently getting ready to apply for USC as a transfer student, but I found out I need 2 semesters of English before enrolling.</p>

<p>"You must complete two semesters of English composition before enrolling at USC."</p>

<p>Well, at my current university, we require 2 semesters of English as a general requirement too. Since I took the AP exam for Eng Lang and Eng Lit, I got credit for Eng I. I just finished Eng II last semester at my university, so I think I'm all set for applying. BUT I just found out USC wont accept AP Eng credit in order to fulfill the general writing requirement (its only accepted as an elective credit). So should I still apply anyways because I already completed the second semester of English?</p>

<p>BTW, I emailed my regional advisor about this problem, but considering the fact that it's winter break, they won't be responding to me any time soon.</p>

<p>Well, it's ambiguous. They could mean you need to take two whole semesters, or that you need to complete the second course in the two course sequence.</p>

<p>You probably want to check with USC, but I can't imagine it would hurt you <em>that</em> much. Maybe if you're borderline.</p>
