Taking Regular English over AP English Literature senior year

Oh, I see. Without context, it sounded like you despise reading as a whole. It’s perfectly fine to decide that some content (Middle-English poetry, or C++ manuals for that matter) is not to your taste. I’m just constantly worried by the number of students we accept that don’t seem to understand that a university education is all about getting into a job where you will do nothing but read & write, all day, every day, for the rest of your life (whether that’s Incan hieroglyphics or IEEE transactions).

For the record, I’m never terribly happy with students who show up to college thinking that the AP courses they have taken in high school somehow substitute for university-level work. You will likely be happier, and better prepared for your upper-division classes, if you take all the lower-division breadth requirements you can, and don’t try to skip out of them using AP credit anyway. Best of luck!
