<p>Most medical schools say they want one year of some type of Expository Writing class (i.e. English). At my school, as I'm assuming is the case with most schools, my English class is one semester. Am I supposed to sign up for a full years worth of English classes, or does the one semester cut it. This may sound stupid, but I'm not sure what they are looking for exactly.</p>
<p>... one year is one year.</p>
<p>You'll need two semesters of English. For some people this means one semester of the required writing course their college offers, and one semester of an English course like... I don't know, 20th Century American Literature or Feminist Writings in the East. Something like that.</p>
<p>Okay, I got it. Thanks for the help!</p>
<p>Can you avoid it using AP credits (for some schools, like for Calculus)?</p>
<p>For some schools. But you wouldn't want to, anyway. English classes are graded lightly and reading comprehension is the single most important part of the MCAT.</p>
<p>That's a good point. I can take English 124 (Literary Analysis) fall semester, and then English 125 (Argument Based Expository) spring semester.</p>
