English Course Prerequisite - HELP!

[abelign]

Hey all,

This is my first time posting to this forum, and I just have a question about the English prerequisite that must be taken in order to apply to certain schools in the United States. I am aware that most schools that require English credits prefer two semesters worth, so here's my question: Does it matter what specific English course you take?

I ask because I'm attempting to keep the 60/40 ratio in terms of credit-year allocations just to stay safe, and my schedule would really benefit from choosing a 3rd year English course as opposed to using up my 40% of lower year credits with 1st year English courses (I need the space for other lower year courses such as biochemistry).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
