<p>Hi.</p>

<p>I am so happy to be a member of the class of 2015 and looking forward to meet all who are admitted!!!</p>

<p>With this being said, I have a question to ask.</p>

<p>I am aware that Middlebury has a pretty extensive core curriculum for students. I was planning for med school, and I thought fulfilling humanities/social science/language/writing requirement would well satisfy most of med schools non-science requirement. Am I correct? I know there are literally HUNDRED courses that you can choose to meet the requirement, but I couldn't resist to ask.</p>

<p>My greatest concern is English requirement of most of medical schools (which is one year). Would 2 intensive-writing courses satisfy such requirement?</p>

<p>Typically freshman seminar classes satisfy one of your writing intensives and, while it depends on your major,:

</p>

<p>Compared to some LAC’s (excepting those with no core curriculum), I don’t think Midd’s is too bad at all.</p>

<p>Varies by medical school. JHU published an excellent compilation of English requirements. <a href=“http://web.jhu.edu/bin/s/g/english_requirements.pdf[/url]”>http://web.jhu.edu/bin/s/g/english_requirements.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>At some schools, the English requirement must be fulfilled with courses offered by the English Dept. </p>

<p>N.Y. Medical College: “English or Comp Lit Classes only.”
Saint Louis University: “Must be fulfilled with courses offered by English Dept”<br>
U.C.L.A: “Preferred not to be met by alternate courses”</p>

<p>Others will accept any significant reading/writing course.
UNC Chapel Hill: “Can be satisfied by courses outside English Dept.” </p>

<p>Yale, Mayo, Tufts, et al. have no English requirement. </p>

<p>N.B. The JHU list is a few years old. Check with each school for current requirements. Harvard has new English guidelines for the class entering 2016</p>
