As my undergraduate degree is from an international university, I figured that I may have to take two english classes ASAP. I really need your advice on what courses will serve once and for all. Especially, I noticed that different schools have different specifics about the kinds of english classes they accept. For examples, UCSF clearly said for English Composition and ESL, Scientific, Professional, Technical and Creative Writing classes do not fulfill the English requirement; whereas some other schools like TUFTS wants writing-intensive Humanities or Social Science course (may include History, English, Comparative Literature, Philosophy, Government or Women's Studies). I am just wondering how you guys select the english courses to fulfill the different requirements?

I am planning to apply for those schools that seem to be flexible about English courses requirements this upcoming cycle; however, just want to back myself up in case have to fight for another year.

Really appreciate it!

Most students who graduated from a US school more than likely fulfilled the requirements merely being be forced to.

I don't believe there are any US schools that does not required to take 1 year of english. Some schools on top of that have a writing course geared for their major that is also required.

In your case, a year of regular english(1a/1b, 101/102 etc will for the most part satisfy the english for most dental schools. Depending on what schools you plan to apply to you can take them at community college if you're out school and don't want to pay too much for 2 classes at your university.

For schools that require writing intensive courses I'm honestly don't know exactly what they are looking for and what qualifies. You might have to call them up to get them to clarify things for you if they don't list it on their website.
