<p>Hi, I understand that Cornell Engineering requires 6 units of Liberal Arts Distribution and 2 FWS. I have a 5 on AP Lit. So I'm just wondering besides exempting me from one FWS, could it count as one of the 6 Liberal Arts courses as well?</p>

<p>Also, I'm interested in taking the course "ENGL 2270 Shakespeare and/as Theory" as one of the six units. Is it difficult for a freshman engineering major to gain entry into the course?</p>

<p>Thank you very much!</p>

<p>It should not be that difficult to get into the course. I don’t think your AP credit goes toward your LA distribution, though, as you said, it gets you out of a semester of FWS.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure it will get you out of one liberal arts distribution course. You can either choose to use it to be exempt from an FWS OR a liberal arts dist.</p>
