Literature courses

I am currently attending and taking prerequisites from another university. I want to apply to the University of Houston, but it seems like I would have to take a Literature course. English/writing has always been my worst subject and I am afraid taking it at a university would only bring down my GPA. I have called UH and they told me that if i finish the core curriculum, I would be exempt from taking Literature. Also other university require different literature courses, so if i don't finish up the core curriculum, i would have to take 2 literature courses versus 1 literature course, calculus and quantitative methods in chemistry. I am not sure which route is the best. I think that Literature would be easier than taking 2 math and science courses, but I'm not sure if pharmacy schools recommend taking more sciences courses or do they not care. Should I take 2 literature courses or finish the core curriculum (with calculus 2 and quantitative methods in chemistry) and 1 literature class? Thanks so much!

If the lit class isn't necessary for the pre-requisite, then don't take it. I took a lit. class as an elective and sometimes it felt mroe demanding than a regular science course!

If you have to take it, then research profs and find the easiest one. Then take that course. Sure it detracts from your education, but it puts you ahead in the rat race.

thank you for replying. I have to take a literature class as a prerequisite. It's just that if I don't complete the core curriculum I would have to take 2 literature classes.I also heard that it was pretty demanding and that is what I am afraid of.
Would it also look better when I apply to pharmacy schools when they see me taking science/math courses rather than literature courses?

thank you for replying. Would pharmacy schools like it better if I took science/math courses versus English courses?

They like it better when you do the prereqs, everything else is just icing.
