<p>At my high school as a senior, you can take Creative Writing instead of AP English and it will count as your 4th English credit. Do the UC schools count it as an English class or just another elective? If not, can I apply even though I wouldn’t have that fourth credit? thanks.</p>

<p>look up your HS on UC’s website. It will tell you if your courses qualifies for an English elective (“b” in the “a-g” sequence).</p>

<p>“Courses in speech, debate, creative writing, drama, or journalism do not meet the “b” English requirement, but may meet the “g” elective requirement as described under college preparatory electives. In order for these courses to meet the elective requirement, they must require substantial reading and writing, including expository writing.”</p>
