I looked each school’s English requirements on Collegeboard and 8 /12 that I’m applying require 4 years of English. However, UC Berkeley is the only college I know of that I’m applying to that explicitly states that they do not accept English classes prior to 9th grade. 
I think I will email each school to see if it is possible that I can still apply there but if you have any advice or suggestions I will take them gladly.
