Wow. Thanks. That's really helpful!

Hello, everyone! I am new to this forum, and I joined because I thought there was so much good information. I also have a very specific question, and would really appreciate any insight. I was recently accepted into BMCC-CUNY with an eye to complete the pre-clinical sequence and go into the nursing program. My academic background is that I have a B.A. in Linguistics and a Master's in Acupuncture. Currently, I am in private practice as a NYS-licensed acupuncturist. One of the pre-clinical required classes is English 101. I didn't take it as an undergraduate, because I had a top score (5) on my advanced placement english exam coming out of high school. I took many 400-level english and creative writing classes, and got my degree in Linguistics. And now the admissions counselor at BMCC is telling me that I have to take English 101! I am really upset about it, because I know I will have to really apply myself to be successful in all the math and science I will be studying, and English 101 is a huge waste of my time! I am starting to think that maybe this is not the best program for me. Any advice on a school that can be reasonable about this kind of thing? I don't mind re-taking Anatomy & Physiology, etc., but Freshman Comp?!? C'mon.
