<p>As a fellow Texan, a lot of my friends also took community college English classes, but while you may be able to transfer the credit, it’s likely going to be difficult unless you take a class that parallels an English class at Hopkins very closely. But far more importantly, nobody has mentioned this but there is no requirement to take English at Hopkins! If you’re an engineer, you’ll need 2 writing intensive courses, and if you’re an Arts and Sciences major, you’ll need 4. But these courses can be in any department - departments as diverse as Economics and Civil Engineering offer writing intensive courses (in addition to the usual suspects - English, Writing Seminars, Classics, History etc). And if you do choose to take a real English department class, you may be surprised to find you like it. Because I was a BME/Econ double major, I had to take 4 W (Writing intensive) classes, and even though I hated English in high school, I decided to take 2 english classes. While one was okay, the other, a 300-level (upper level) English class was probably my favorite class in my years at Hopkins. The professor was incredibly knowledgeable about everything from history to politics to medicine to music, and would often draw references to other fields to help students that were non-English majors.</p>
<p>So I would recommend waiting until you get to Hopkins and taking a look at the what your options for writing intensive courses are. </p>
<p>Just for reference, the fours writing courses I took were:
660.105 Introduction To Business
180.390 Health Econ & Developing Countrie
060.107 Introduction to Literary Study
300.323 Adventures in the First-Person Singular: The Fictions of Autobiography</p>
