English as a prerequisite

From reading medical school admissions websites and MSAR, it appears that medical schools have a maddening variety of approaches to English department courses as prerequisites (and relatedly whether AP credits satisfy that requirement).

Has anyone run across a school that requires 2 semesters of college level English department courses and won't accept any AP credits as substitute?

Yes, several. Just go ahead and take 2 semesters...don't close any doors.

Thanks!

Do any of schools you have in mind NOT accept other college level reading/writing intensive courses (eg religion, philosophy) as a substitute for English?

Also, which schools do you have in mind that don’t accept AP English AND require 2 semesters?
