superman Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Hey guys, This forum is great. Its a wonderful resource...just found it recently. I graduated a couple years back and now I am thinking about applying to the states for the next application cycle. My problem is that I only have half a credit of English composition (1 semester) and it is my understanding that I need a full year to be eligible to apply. A couple of questions 1. If I apply this summer, would I be allowed to take a second english during the summer or even the next academic year (ie from sep-april)? 2. Do US schools accept english classes from athabasca university? Thanks, Appreciate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippie Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 1- Yes 2-Yes, athabasca is an accredited Canadian university, so I dont see why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochi1543 Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Yeah, you don't need to finish your pre-reqs before you apply, just before you enroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikkey Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Hey I just did research on this as I only have one semester of English. For most US schools, you can complete your requirements until you matriculate at the said med school. Plus, you can get that English substituted for History or Philosophy. For Canadian schools, beware: some ask one full year of English, which cannot be substituted and must be completed by Nov. 15th of the year before you matriculate, which means that all English must be done by the summer session before your last year.

Just a warning though. Lots of schools, start med school in late july/early aug. So if you need a whole years worth of English credit, do it during your school year, instead of the summer (just before you go to med school)...it's lots less stressful that way. Even though MOST American schools lets you do this.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
