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?
 
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.
