Honors/ AP English for a top50 university?

<p>I just came to US last year(from ukraine, that;s in eastern europe) ,in 9th grade, and obviously English isn't my strongest subject. i go to a competitive public high school in a white LA suburb. so my question is can i get in a top50 university w/o taking honors english? i'm taking many honors and will take 9 ap's by the end of school, but is english a must for college?</p>

<p>and one of the reason honors english doesn't sound like a good idea is my accent. i'm terrified of doing presentations and stuff with this horrible accent(( +my school is 95% americans, no immigrants(btw im not either, moving home after univ)</p>

<p>here's an idea:</p>

<p>take honors english, then sign up for the AP. You don't have to take an ap course to take the ap</p>

<p>If you know how to write, the ap is really easy.</p>

<p>well can i not take honors english and still get in the university?</p>

<p>Ya, my friend never took an honors english class and got into Northwestern and Wash U, so it is possible.</p>
