Hi all,
I have a quick question about the 6 hours of English that most school require. As an undergrad, I took College Comp...and that was over 5 years ago. Now I'm back in school...and will be taking Into to Lit. Will this be enough??? Is it okay that 3 hours are from years ago???.....or should I start all over and just take two English class now??? Any suggestions??
Thanks, Anna
 
Anna,

It should not matter. I haven't been in college for the past three and a half years and haven't taken any English classes since 1994 and I got in. Just make sure you learn what you need in your science classes and do well on the good ol' MCAT.
