Ok. Sorry to resurrect this but I was trying to sign up for English classes and ran into a problem. They wouldn't let me.
Email from the composition director quoted below. Any advice on what to do next?

Dear dmf2682,
I conferred with our Senior Assistant Dean of Student Relations and
Advising for her perspective on your taking an undergraduate composition
course. In short, since you already have an undergraduate degree and an
MS, there is no mechanism by which to have you enroll in our courses.
The med school will base their admission criteria on your transcripts as
they pertain to med school preparation, such as appropriate science
courses, not as to whether you have an undergraduate writing course. In
addition, the fact that you have attained two degrees has already
certified your writing proficiency. Your degrees will carry more weight
than a single writing course.
Our advice is that you apply to medical school and not worry about
taking a composition course. I wish you well with your new career
aspirations.
Best,
XXX
