I am now having doubts. I have never taken an official English course because it was not required by my university. However, I took an Intro Writing course(WRT course) and a Critical Writing course(WRT course) on special topics, which satisfied my English/writing requirements. Also, I took a philosophy course that analyzed literature. I assumed writing would be fine because it is under the AACOMAS: English section but I just wanted to make sure. Should I list that an English course as planned? Thank you everyone!

I emailed all of the DO schools and they had said that my writing courses (not offered by the English department) would be considered as English. If you are unsure, then I would probably send emails to verify!
 
You should definitely email them to verify. Blindly sending those applications in may just be a waste of money. Some schools could be very strict about it. Good luck!
