@happy1 the reason i was thinking of doing this is because i’ve taken PCM+comp sc. in the indian CBSE curriculum, and the English offered isn’t strong at all. i plan to do lib arts but i took PCM because humanities here is considered weak and i have decent enough scores in science and math. in this particular english curriculum, i’ve actually not been able to score as high as a few others who have arguably worse english than i do, partly because of the nature of memorisation and also because i’m new to the curriculum. the curriculum is basically “cram for an exam” like you said, and yeah, i’m not very good with that. is there an alternative way to showcase my skill with writing and analysis? do colleges allow for a writing portfolio in their submissions usually? i have quite a few poems and short stories i could use if that’s the case.
@skieurope alright, thank you for the list.
