<p>Someone please correct me if I’m wrong on this. I’m too lazy to look it up, but I think that even if you APed out of one of the English distros, you would still have to take another one, because you have to take 2 distros for each area and you can only use one AP for each area. I think the “English” category is technically “Literature and Fine Arts,” but, as Periddle kind of said, so many things fit into this category that if you really don’t like English, you can probably avoid taking an actual “English” class.</p>
<p>It seems like within each distro, there is a huge variety of classes, so you should be able to fulfill all the distros with classes you like. Classes can count towards distros that you wouldn’t have thought would count. For example, for the math distro, you can take linguistics classes, cognitive sciences classes, and even certain philosophy and music classes, I believe. You wouldn’t think these things could fulfill the math requirement, but they can. The same goes for a lot of the other distros. While you may get stuck in a boring class once in a while, in general, you should be able to find ways to fulfill your distros that are interesting to you.</p>
<p>Also, besides the distros (for Weinberg, at least - not sure about the other schools), everyone has to take two freshman seminars. These are small classes, about 17 people, and they focus on writing and discussion. Freshman seminars cover a HUGE range of topics, from Harry Potter to chocolate to the meaning of life to aliens to the more conventional things like history, humanities, etc. There’s such a wide selection of seminars, it’s definitely a good idea to do lots of research when you’re picking the ones you want.</p>
<p>Again, if I’ve said anything incorrect here, feel free to correct me! It’s past midnight here, so I might be a little out of it. :P</p>
<p>I hope this helped! Good luck!</p>
