<p>Many medical schools either require or recommend english (composition, expository writing, etc...) courses. What are acceptable english courses?</p>
<p>For example, would film studies or theater (these courses are considered as reading and composition courses at my school) be acceptable?</p>
<p>I'm thinking a Big NO on the film/theater classes. </p>
<p>I'm thinking English 101 and 102 (which are heavy on writing skills). the film/theater classes may have a lot of reading/writing, but they won't be stressing mechanics like the intro classes will. But, hey, I could be wrong.</p>
<p>Classes in the English department at your school are probably safe.</p>
<p>Literature, Composition, Writing, English are the four "course headings" that come to mind.</p>
<p>I see. Thanks.</p>
<p>Bluedevilmike, you go to berkeley right? What english course did you take?</p>
<p>No, I live (home) in Berkeley and went to high school there.</p>
