Is it really necessary to take courses in English to apply to med school? What if you take multiple upper level courses in another language? Or multiple courses considered “writing intensive” by your college?
Do you really have to take courses in English (ie, English lit?).
What’s the goal of the English course requirement? To show you are fluent in English? To show you can communicate well?
I really have no interest in taking English lit courses for pre-med. Thanks for your input.
