<p>Does UMich take mythology class as an english class??</p>
<p>When I was doing schedules last year, I didn't know that Michigan needs 4 credits of English so I changed my schedule, but my counselor said that he didn't know if mythology would count as an English class in UM.</p>
<p>My brother actually attends Michigan now, and I know that he took mythology in high school, so I think it counts as an english class, but I want to make sure.</p>
<p>it probably does, and even if it doesn't, they aren't going to reject you on that alone. I only had 2 semesters of a foreign language and the req. is 3 or 4</p>
<p>I have another question.
I just want to know if English being my second language is good enough reason for not taking any challenging english courses.
I have a weak gpa about 3.6 uw, but I took the toughest classes offered in my school, but I took easy english classes because I wasn't very confident in English.
But I have been in michigan about 6years and I don't really have that much trouble with english, so I was wondering if I should put that on my application or if it's not good enough reason.</p>
<p>Can anyone help me?
I'm not sure if I should explain why I took easy english classes.
Should I explain it in this question?
-------from online application-------
Is there anything in your academic record you should explain?
(For example, periods of time spent out of school, a failing grade, or not completing</p>
<h2>the minimum required coursework for admission)</h2>
<p>or do they not care why I took those easy classes???</p>
<p>I ignored that question in my app. with my foreign language deficiency</p>
