I haven't taken two English courses at my University yet. I still have my whole senior year left though, can I still apply and fulfill these courses by then or do i HAVE to fulfill them before I apply. (summer classes). I have taken one English class though, it was "Classical Literature" does this count as an English course?

You should probably fulfill the English classes ASAP. However, you may still apply without all your pre-reqs done, but they must be done before you matriculate.

hahah whoops, do you think it will look bad that I didn't? Will it have a negative impact on my application?

Sorry 😛 It was too easy. At first I thought he made an honest spelling mistake, then I noticed it three times in his post 😕

Some schools suggest English, but their core requirements are Bio, Chem, Phys. Other schools require English. I do believe any course dealing with literature will fulfill the requirements. However I would suggest taking the English courses to help prepare you for the VR of the MCAT.

I see, "by required" do they mean before I apply or before I matriculate?

Just an example from UCLA: http://www.medstudent.ucla.edu/prospective/admissions/default.cfm?pgID=3

"Completion of Requirements: Students must complete all premedical requirements before beginning the first year of medical study, although these requirements need not be completed at the time application for admission is filed"
