<p>Is one year of writing courses equivalent to a year of english? Will medical schools accept this?</p>
<p>Most likely, yes. Especially if they are listed as english deparment courses.</p>
<p>If they are english department courses, then they will definitely count. If they are from another department, they have to be noted (on your official transcript) as “writing intensive” (or whatever the equivalent is at your school)</p>
<p>If they are listed as english/writing/literature you should be fine.</p>
<p>thanks everyone!</p>
