<p>^ I learned from CC in the past that the answer is no. The applicant can take the course in the application cycle, but (s)he needs to complete the course before matriculation.</p>
<p>Regarding “two semesters of English/Intensive Writing course”, DS’s college will make sure every student would complete these courses (I think they should be completed by the end of sophomore.) Otherwise, the student will receive an “academic warning” from the academic dean from his/her college (and maybe even a “counseling” session by her/his froco who is a senior year student who is assigned to the student to “help him/her”?)</p>
