Not sure what else to call the thread. I applied to DO schools and I just realized I don't have any english courses. I know it's strange I have a master's and have never taken english.
Can I get accepted although I have not completed these courses?
Another point to ponder- Should I take a CLEP or a regular collge class, deoes it make any difference?

You're going to have to have two english classes scheduled for next semester. They require it at most schools to be completed prior to matriculation.

That seems to be the case. However, can i tell the school I will complete the requirement before matriculation and still get accepted.
Because once I am accepted I would like to take the CLEP and get it over with instead of attending a class for several months
One more thing.....can they make my acceptance contingent upon my grades for english?

Call the school and ask them directly if they will accept the clep, I know some schools will but I also know some schools do not accept clep. They will accept you on contingency if you tell them that you are going to complete the english class prior to matriculation.

Just search around for a school that lets you do an independent study at your own pace.

Here's one, for example...

It's possible to graduate with a Bachelor's degree in the US without taking any english?

Wow.
