<p>Some of the colleges I’m thinking of applying to don’t list “course descriptions” under their checklists. I know they’re used AFTER you’re admitted, but there’s one thing that bothers me a bit.</p>
<p>One of my Literature classes is called “Anime,” which, as you guessed, is analyzing manga and anime academically.</p>
<p>I would guess that on paper, it sounds like a complete blow-off class. But it’s not.</p>
<p>It’s an upper-level literature class that requires LOTS of reading per week. Most of the material isn’t manga; it’s scholarly books, journals, and articles about manga. It’s arguably my hardest class this semester, and it assigns more reading than my Chemistry, Physics, and Sociology classes combined.</p>
<p>Should I write somewhere on my application that this class isn’t a blow-off? Because I don’t want colleges to think I’m trying to cruise with a “filler” elective class</p>
